A woman from Wattakachchi in Kilinochchi has been reported to have attempted to commit murder-suicide with her three children by jumping into a well.

 

The neighboring residents have been able to save the mother’s life who had survived by holding on to an aid.

 

She is currently receiving treatment at the Kilinochchi Hospital.

 

However, none of the three kids have survived the incident, according to Dharmapuram Police.
