A 31-year-old Indian woman and her four-month-old son have died after she allegedly jumped from the balcony of their high-rise apartment in Melbourne along with the baby.

Supraja Srinivas and her son Shrihan died on the spot.

Their bodies were found in the atrium of the 29-storey City Point apartment building last Thursday.

According to media reports, the family of the deceased was now planning to take their bodies to India.
