A court in Uttar Pradesh's Shravasti district on Thursday convicted a woman of strangulating her children to death and awarded her life imprisonment.
On March 27, 2016, Meera Devi, wife of Pradeep Verma and a resident of Madhavapur village, choked her sons Anurag (4) and one-year-old Aryan to death with bare hands, prosecutor K. P. Singh told PTI.
She also tried to commit suicide by immolation, but later jumped into a well and was rescued by villagers.
The District Sessions Judge Gaurav Kumar Srivastava also slapped a fine of Rs 10,000 on Meera Devi, Singh said.
