Etawah, UP: A 57-year-old woman was killed after falling off a roof while fending off a monkey attack here, police sources said on Thursday.

The woman, identified as Munni, had gone to the roof of her house in Ludhpura in the district's Jaswant Nagar town to dry clothes when she was attacked by monkeys, the sources said.

She fell off the roof while trying to escape the monkey attack, they said.

The woman was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
