A 27-year-old Indian woman carried her 11-month-old son, went out to the balcony of her 11th floor apartment in Jumeirah Village and jumped to death.

Police said both died on impact and cited deep marital rifts for the suicide.

The husband, 31, acknowledged the dispute was leading to a divorce but told police he was shocked by his wife’s suicide as he had not expected it.

Police, citing her husband, said the woman obviously committed suicide after she suspected her husband, a hotel cook, was not faithful to her.

They said the couple had agreed to travel back home to get divorced.

“The woman was at home alone with her baby when she decided to throw herself down…examination showed she and her son died on impact,” Emirat Al Youm daily said, quoting Bur Dubai police chief Colonel Ali Ghanim.

“Our investigation showed it was a suicide and that there is no criminal act involved.”
