A couple and their two-year-old son were found dead at their rented house in Thanni on Wednesday. According to the police Ajish, (38) and his wife, Sulu (36), killed their son before ending their lives. It was Ajish’s parents who alerted the neighbours when they did not open the door in the morning. The child’s body was found lying on the bed. Ajish was diagnosed with cancer recently and the family already had considerable financial burden. “It was the financial crisis and illness that prompted the couple to take the extreme step,” said the police.
