Mother held on charge of killing two children in Palakkad
The children, aged 5 and 3, were found dead in a water tank at their rented house
On Tuesday, the bodies of two children, Jennifer Juliet, 5, and Robin Christopher, 3, were discovered inside a concrete water tank at a rented house in Menonpara, near Kozhinjampara, Palakkad. The mother of the children, Nivedya, 33, was arrested on charges of murder. Initially, the incident was reported as an accident. Nivedya admitted to the crime during questioning and later confessed that she had drowned both children.
She claimed she did so because she wanted to continue her studies and pursue modelling, and due to family problems. The children had reportedly known how to swim and often played in the tank. The police are continuing their investigation.
