Woman with two kids found dead in a sump

A woman along with her two girl children were found dead in a sump, attached to their house in Kangeyampalayam on the city outskirts, today.
Naveen, a driver by profession, found his wife Ezhin missing along with two daughters-- four and half year and one and half year old--when he woke up this morning, police said.
As the search for them in the neighbourhood remained futile, he noticed the door of the sump was opened and on peeping found the bodies of wife and children floating, they said.
As he raised alarm, neighbours rushed to the spot and informed police, who retrieved the bodies form the sump, they said.

Even as bodies were sent for postmortem, investigations were on whether this was a case of suicide or murder, police said.
