A 30-year-old mother in North Sumatra has allegedly killed her three toddlers because she could not bear the economic burden of caring for them.

The woman and her husband lived with their parents, their three toddler sons and another older child.

The victims were five, four and two years old.

"The mother killed the three victims at once, after which the perpetrator lay down beside the victims holding a machete," Yansen told reporters on Thursday.

The police have arrested the mother and have seized the machete allegedly used to commit the murder. The bodies of the three victims were taken to the Gunungsitoli Regional Hospital for autopsy.

"The initial investigation suggests that the perpetrator killed her children because of economic pressures," Yansen said.

Irna Minauli, a psychologist from Medan Area University, said the police should immediately carry out a psychological examination of the alleged perpetrator.

She suspected that the woman was experiencing post-partum depression.
