Speaking to Dantri/Dtinews on Wednesday evening, a representative of Hoa Lien Communal People's Committee reported that Huynh Cong Lam, 68, came to visit his grandchildren at 4.40 pm only to find that they were dead.
The twin girls aged two were found dead in a bed, foaming at the mouth. The man also found a note left by his daughter-in-law. She said she was sick and she didn't want to be a burden to the family. She hoped that her husband would take good care of their eldest son and hoped he would try to study well to become a helpful person.
According to local authorities, the 41-year-old woman had depression after giving birth to the twin babies. She has recently recovered after being treated at a mental hospital. Her husband was away from home working in Quang Ngai Province. She was taking care of their 15-year-old son and twin baby girls alone.
The woman was later spotted attempting to jump into a river and was rescued by local people.
