**Tragic Incident: Family of Four Found Dead in Kerala Home**
A heartbreaking discovery was made in Upputhara, a village in Kerala’s Idukki district, where a family of four, including two young children, was found dead in their home on Thursday afternoon. The police reported that the bodies were located hanging in the living room around 4:30 PM, following concerns raised by neighbors who had not seen or heard from the family for an extended period.
The deceased have been identified as Sajeev Mohanan (34), his wife Reshma (30), and their two children—a six-year-old boy in Class 1 and a four-year-old girl. Initial investigations indicate that this tragic event may be a case of suicide. Neighbors informed authorities that Sajeev, an auto-rickshaw driver from Pattathambalam in Upputhara, had been facing significant financial difficulties.
Authorities suspect that the parents may have taken the lives of their children before ending their own. The precise sequence of events is still under investigation, and a First Information Report (FIR) has been filed as inquiries continue.
This incident follows other recent tragedies in the region, including the case of an 11-year-old girl found hanging from a window grill in Thiruvananthapuram, which police believe was accidental. Additionally, on March 3, Dr. George P Abraham, a renowned kidney transplantation pioneer, was discovered dead at his farmhouse in Ernakulam, with a suicide note citing declining surgical proficiency as the reason for his actions.
As the community grapples with this devastating loss, the investigation aims to uncover the full circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
