A pair of elderly lovers leapt to their deaths hand in hand in southern China after their children refused to let them marry, a news report said on Thursday.
The couple, both aged 61, jumped holding hands from the seventh floor home they shared in Guangzhou in China’s Guangdong province, according to the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily.
Neighbours quoted by the newspaper said the couple wanted to marry but both received strong objections from their children who opposed the union. – Sapa-DPA
