A woman murdered her two sons by slitting their throats before attempting suicide, at Uppalapadu village in Podili mandal of Prakasam district on Monday evening. The deceased were identified as Mukesh (4) and Deekshit (2). The condition of the woman is said to be critical. The shocking incident took place at around 6.30 pm when family members found K Adilakshmi (22) along with her sons lying on the bed with blood spilled all over.

Podili police said Adilakshmi married Kareti Srihari from Singarayakonda about five years ago. However, marital discord marked their relationship since then. Adilakshmi apparently did not want to stay with her in-laws, while Srihari was opposed to the proposal, which often led to heated exchanges between the couple.

About 10 days ago, Adilakshmi left Singarayakonda and went to her mother’s place in Podili. “She went into further depression after Srihari ignored her calls, especially when one of their sons fell ill. Family members said this was the tipping point for Adilakshmi to take the extreme step,” a police officer said.

Adilakshmi has been admitted to RIMS in Ongole where her condition remains critical. While her children had fatal cuts on their throats, Adilakshmi’s cut wasn’t deep enough due to which she survived. Police have registered a case under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 309 (attempt to commit suicide) at Podili police station.
