Bangalore: A mother today killed her three children in the age group of three to eight years, by pushing them into a water tank here and then committed suicide by jumping into it, police said.

The police suspect that the woman first administered poison to the children and took some herself before jumping.

Police suspect that the woman took the extreme step as the family had been affected by financial problems. The woman's husband earlier owned a lorry but was forced to sell it and take to daily wages.
