Madikeri, Karnataka, Sep 22 (UNI) A woman killed her three daughters by throwing them into a tank, before committing suicide in a similar way, at Tolur Shettalli near Somwarpet here.

Sachini (30), wife of labourer Ganesh, took the extreme step after she was allegedly raped by one Sudhakar.

Police said Ganesh, returning from work, found Sudhakar of the same village running from his house when Sachini was alone. An enraged Ganesh chased Sudhakar with a sword, but failed to trace him. Then Ganesh shouted at Sachini in an inebriated condition and went to sleep. In the morning, Sachini and the children -- Supreeta (13), Sushmita (11) and Shobita (8) were found missing. Later, Sachini's body was found floating in Devarakere and the other three bodies were also subsequently fished out.

A complaint was lodged with the police, who were on the look out for Sudhakar.
