A 32-year-old woman and her four-year-old daughter were killed when the old thatched roof of their house collapsed in Dabeerpura police limits in the early hours of Sunday.
According to Dabeerpura police, the deceased, Rehana Begum and her daughter Mahmuna were seriously injured when the roof of their house collapsed and fell on them while they were asleep. They were rushed to the Osmania General Hospital where they were declared dead on admission.
Police suspect that the thatched roof might have become weak due to unseasonal rains that lashed the city for the last two days and it collapsed.
A case has been registered and bodies were handed over the relatives after an autopsy was conducted at the OGH mortuary. (INN)
