London: An Indian-origin mother poisoned herself and her two young daughters with acid last year after apparently facing problems trying to live with her husband’s parents, an inquest heard on Saturday.
Heena Solanki, 34, was found dead in her bed alongside Jasmine, nine, and Prisha, four, by her husband Kalpesh Solanki at their home in Ruislip, west London, the Mirror reported.
An inquest said that police and paramedics who went to the scene were forced back by poisonous fumes.
None of her family attended the hearing but a statement by Kalpesh Solanki was read out in which he spoke of his surprise at his wife’s actions.
“Prior to her death I believed that Heena was happy and content,” he said.
“We lived a nice life with our two children, Jasmine and Prisha. The only thing that I was aware of was that we lived with my parents. This issue got her down at times but it’s the only issue I can think of.”
He added that they had decided to move out but had not yet told his parents.
Kalpesh said that Heena had not shown signs of depression and had never talked of taking her own life. (IANS)
