(Releads with motive for bomb)

BEIJING, May 4 (Reuters) - A man and a woman killed themselves "for love" with a bomb that exploded in a hotel room in China's southwestern province of Yunnan, police and media said on Friday.

Local police think the pair had an adulterous affair and chose to die together rather than live apart, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The bomb went off early Thursday evening at the Jindi Hotel in Jinggu county, injuring another two people and littering the streets outside with shards of broken glass.

The dead couple were identified as Dao Zhaoren and his apparent lover Duan Mingying, Xinhua said.

An official with the local police department told Reuters there was a bomb, but he declined to provide further details.
