 Kozhikode: Jolly Shaju, who is accused of killing six members of her own family, attempted suicide in a Kerala jail. According to the Kozhikode Police, Jolly has been admitted to Kozhikode Medical College with a slit on her wrist.

Jolly was arrested for allegedly poisoning to death six members of her family over a period of 14 years in Kerala's Koodathai village in Kozhikode district. She was arrested with two of her partners, MS Mathew and P Prajikumar in 2019.

The arrests were made after forensic experts exhumed the mortal remains of the victims from their graves and conducted a postmortem.

The six deaths in the family took place between 2002 and 2016. While the first death, which is suspected to be a murder, was of Jolly's mother-in-law, the most recent to die in the family was a relative and mother of a two-year-old.
