Three women of a family were found hanging in their house at Pottelegunta village in Guduru mandal of Krishna district on Friday, in what is suspected to be a consequence of prolonged family disputes and domestic violence. The triple suicide has sent shockwaves across the district, with police yet to ascertain the exact motive behind the deaths.Preliminary investigation indicated that frequent family disputes had strained relations in the household, driving Rajini Kumari (60), her daughter Gowri Devi (40), and daughter-in-law Madhubala (35) to end their lives.According to Guduru police, Madhubala was married to Rajini’s son Anumakonda Krishna for nearly 15 years, and the couple has two children. Krishna allegedly suspected his wife of having an extramarital affair and reportedly also approached Guduru police earlier this month over this. Police counselled the couple and sent them back home.Family members told police that Krishna frequently abused Madhubala and his mother Rajini. Upon learning about the disputes, Gowri Devi came to her maternal home two days ago to attempt to resolve the family issues
