Woman Slits Throats Of Newborn Twins After Husband Says He's Not The Father

Locals initially suspected that the man was involved in the horrific murders. But as the police questioned his wife, she confessed to the crime.

In a gruesome murder that shocked the border district of Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir, a woman slit the throats of her newborn twins after her husband allegedly denied paternity.

Three months ago, the man, who works in Saudi Arabia, returned home after a long time. Shortly after, as his wife gave birth to twins, he headed straight to the police and claimed that the children were born "from an illegitimate relationship".

The woman, fearing trouble, took her newborns to a nearby field and killed them, the police said.
