A 35-year-old woman and her minor daughter allegedly committed suicide by hanging from the ceiling of their house in Kumara Layout in Attibele on Thursday.
The deceased, Sindhu, was married to Rajshekhar, who works as supervisor at a garment factory in South Africa. The couple had a daughter, Deepthi (17), who was perusing her II PU in a private college.
According to the police, Rajashekhar used to visit the family once in six months and the couple allegedly did not have a cordial relationship. Sindhu was depressed and was under medication. On Thursday, the mother-daughter duo were found by the neighbours hanging from the ceiling, the police said.
The Attibele police rushed to the spot and shifted the bodies for post-mortem. A case of unnatural death has been registered and investigations are on.
