A woman has committed suicide after killing her seven-year-old daughter at Gogua village under Mahakalpada block in Kendrapara district.
The bodies of the two identified as Nauli and her daughter Jhuni were recovered from the Gobori river at village on Tuesday morning.
Though the exact reason behind the shocking incident was yet to be ascertained, it was suspected that the woman took the extreme step over a family feud.
The woman’s husband Jadumani, who also has a 16-year-old son, said, ”The mother and the daughter had gone outside the house last night. I came to know about it this morning only.”
Meanwhile, the Mahakalapada police reached the village and started an investigation into the incident.
Earlier on August 1, bodies of a two-year-old baby girl and her mother had been recovered from the Luna river in the district.
