A Chinese woman has reportedly killed herself and her two children after she found out that her husband had died in an accident, only for it to later emerge that he had faked his own death in the hope of cashing in on an insurance payout. The woman identified only as Ms. Dai is said to have jumped into a pond in Xinhua County in south China's Hunan Province with her four-year-old son and three-year-old daughter after hearing the "tragic" news of her husband's death.

According to the Daily Mail, the husband, 34-year-old Mr. He, had cooked up a plan to fake his death so he could avoid paying debts totaling more than 100,000 yuan ($14,433 USD) to an internet gambling company. However, he failed to inform his wife about the plan.
