Woman, son drown in well

Krishnagiri: A 55-year-old woman drowned while trying in vain to save her 28-year-old son from a well at Chennamalam village in Denkanikottai here on Wednesday.

The deceased were identified as M Rathinamma and her son M Mathesh. “Rathinamma, a widow, was rearing goats with the help of Mathesh, who was a hearing- and speech-impaired person. On Wednesday, Mathesh slipped into a farm well while drawing water. Rathinamma jumped into the well to rescue her son. Both of them drowned,” a police officer said.

Villagers who noticed sandals floating in the well found the bodies. The Thally police sent the bodies to the Denkanikottai government hospital for postmortem. Police have registered a case under Section 174 of CrPC.
