Colombo: A pregnant woman committed suicide by jumping into a well in Sri Lanka’s Wariyapola area and she took along her one-and-half-year old child, reported ‘Mawbima’.

The 37-year-old Anoma Dissanayake, who was two months into her pregnancy, reportedly was angry with the husband.

The man was at work when she took the drastic step. On returning home, he found his wife and child missing and alerted his neighbours. All of them set out looking for them and discovered their bodies in the well.

Bodies have been sent for post-mortem, while investigations continue.
