HYDERABAD: Two women and a child were found dead under suspicious circumstances near the dumping yard at Jawahar Nagar on Monday. Police found that the women, identified as Sumathi and Anusha, left their homes in Karimanagar over a tiff with their husbands. 

It is suspected that they killed the girl Uma Maheshwari, daughter of Anusha, and later committed suicide.
The victims belonged to Karimanagar and were friends. On Friday, they went to collect ration rice being distributed by the government.
