Udupi: A woman died by suicide after killing her one-and-a-half-year old daughter at Aroor village of Brahmavar police station limits on Monday.
The deceased are Sushmitha (35) and her daughter Shreshta.
Udupi SP Hariram Shankar said the bodies were discovered around 1 pm. The preliminary investigations indicate that the woman ended her life after killing her daughter. A suicide note was also discovered at the spot in which she claimed responsibility for the act.
Her husband and his family were convicted in an attempt to murder case in 2009. The Karnataka High Court too had upheld the conviction recently.
She might have taken the extreme step due to the development related to the case, said the SP. The police will probe the case from all angles, he said.
