VELLORE: A father of three murdered his two daughters by drowning them in a well in a village near Vellore on Tuesday morning. Later, confessing to the crime, the leather worker said he did it because he did not have the means to raise them although he had spared his four-month-old son.

Mohamed Ali said he had committed the murders because he did not have the means to raise them. However, he had spared his four-month-old son.
