The Hosapalya villagers were in shock after a 38-year-old woman and her two minor daughters were found dead in a field, on the outskirts of the city on Sunday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Roopa and her two daughters Harsihta, 6, and Spoorthi, 4. The Magadi police, who have registered a case of murder and suicide, said that Ms. Roopa was the wife of Lokesh, a farmer.
A probe revealed that the couple got married eight years ago and had no major issues. The couple had even visited the Tirupati temple a few days ago.
