Upset with frequent quarrels with her husband over an extramarital affair, a woman allegedly killed her two children by pushing them into a well in Kandhamal district of Odisha, according to the police. Her condition is stated to be stable.
After having quarrelled with her husband Rajesh Patra, Bhagyalaxmi, a resident of Raikia Block in the Kandhamal district, had left home with her five-year old son and 9-year old daughter on Friday afternoon.
