Rukum– A woman and her 20-month son were found dead in a forest at Sisne Rural Municipality-6 in Rukum on Saturday. The deceased have been identified as a local Renuka KC Shah, 30, and her son Atiam.
Atiam was found hanging from a tree branch in the forest, around three kilometers from the house, while mother Renuka was lying dead on the ground, said Deputy Superintendent of Police Loknath Timsina.
There were wound marks left by a rope around Renuka's neck. So she might have fallen to the ground after the rope with which she hung got snapped due to overweight, said Timsina. The locals had informed the police after they found both mother and son dead while collecting firewood.
On January 10, Renuka had left her house for Nepalgunj for a medical checkup, said the locals. The incident site is around three kilometers away from the house.
Preliminary police investigations show that Renuka hung her son before hanging herself. Additional investigations were on, said Timsina.
