CHENNAI: A 23-year-old woman threw her two and a-half-year-old daughter into a well near her house in Aminjikarai before jumping in on Tuesday. Kanaka allegedly took the extreme step as she was unable to provide proper treatment for her disabled daughter Dakshini, police said. When Kanaka's husband Arumugam, a tailor, returned home from work he found his wife and daughter missing and their son Gokul (4) sleeping in the bedroom. Arumugam saw the back door open, went out and noticed the fencing around the well in the backyard displaced. He saw his daughter's body floating on the surface and informed police. Fire and rescue service personnel rushed there and pulled out the child's body as well as that of Kanaka. Police said Arumugam was the sole bread-winner and the family was struggling to make ends meet. Dakshini was being treated at the Institute of Child Health in Egmore where doctors had planned a surgery for her. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mental Health Advocacy (News 'N Views) India" group.
