The deceased Parvathi (70) and Dhanush (11) were sleeping in the bedroom of their house at Hebbarbail in Puttur when the incessant rains caused the compound wall of their neighbour’s house to collapse on their house at around 1.45 a.m. on Saturday. The impact of the collapsed wall buried both the woman and child alive.
