A 45-year-old woman allegedly killed her minor daughter before ending her life at their residence in Immadihalli in Whitefield on Tuesday.
The deceased have been identified as Suvarna, 45, and her daughter Tarunya, 13. Suvarna is suspected of having smothered the girl to death and later ending her life.
According to police, Suvarna’s husband, Chandrashekar, a computer operator at a private hospital, had left for work on Tuesday morning. When repeated phone calls to his wife went unanswered, he alerted his brother Vinod Kumar and asked him to check on the family.
Upon reaching the house, Vinod found the room locked from the inside. Growing suspicious, he forced the door open, only to find both of them dead.
Police and Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) rushed to the spot after receiving information around 11 a.m. No death note was recovered from the scene.
