A 35-year-old assistant accountant at an Indian oil company allegedly killed his two sons for poor academic performance before dying by suicide on Friday, shortly after attending an office Holi party with his family in Kakinada district, Andhra Pradesh, police said.The man tied the limbs of his sons – seven-years-old and six-years-old — with a rope and drowned them upside down in two separate water-filled buckets, before hanging himself to the ceiling fan in his bedroom, Sarpavaram inspector of police B Peddiraju said. Originally from Tadepalligudem in West Godavari district, the man was living in an apartment along with his wife and two sons, who were upper kindergarten (UKG) and Class 1 students. “The couple had recently changed their children’s school, concerned that they were not performing well academically,” Peddiraju added.
