Police
    Agartala, Mar 14 (PTI) A 25-year-old woman allegedly
committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling of her
house after poisoning her son and daughter, following a fight
with her husband, the Tripura Police said on Saturday.
    The incident happened on Friday in Samukcherra, a
remote tribal hamlet in Gomati district, about 70 km from
here.
    The woman, identified as Jamuna Debbarma, had a fight
with her husband when he went home for lunch.
    It is suspected that after her husband, who is a day
labourer, left for work she killed her seven-year-old daughter
and four-year-old son and committed suicide, said Dhruba Nath,
sub-divisional police officer of Udaipur.
    The police are yet to get the post-mortem report, he
said, adding that investigations are on.
    "As the house is on a hilltop, which is an isolated
place, no one was available as a witness," the officer said.
    Her husband has been detained for interrogation, Nath
said. PTI JOY
