The deceased have been identified as K Selvaraj, 52, a farmer, his wife Poonkodi, 45, and their son Surender, 25, who was involved in a catering business. The family's troubles began six months ago when Surender got married to 22-year-old Sneka. However, the marriage was short-lived, and Sneka recently returned to her father's home after a heated argument with Surender.
According to Akash Joshi, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP), said the cause for the tragic events is yet to be ascertained.
The incident came to light when neighbors noticed that the family's front door was still closed at 8 am on Sunday. Upon checking, they discovered the three bodies and alerted the Erumapatty police. The police broke open the door to retrieve the bodies, and sent them for post-mortem examination at the Namakkal Government Medical College and Hospital.
