Authorities are examining the possibility that the woman suffered from acute postpartum depression before committing suicide and killing her children during the fall of 60 meters.

“She complained to her acquaintances that she had postpartum depression,” a police source told Komsomolskaya Pravda. “She felt lonely and tired,” she added.
