Rajanna-Sircilla: An aged couple was found dead under suspicious circumstances in their home in Nizamabad village of Konaraopet mandal on Sunday morning. The deceased were identified as Nomula Bhoom Reddy (82) and Lachavva (77).

According to police, the couple was living in a separate room as all their three sons and a daughter were married and living separately. Since the deceased were residing beside the house of elder son Bhupathi Reddy, he could keep a watch on the movements of his parents from the terrace.

When the couple did not come out in the morning, Bhupathi Reddy went to the terrace and was shocked to find his father hanging from ceiling. He immediately jumped into the house and tried to wake up his mother but she too was dead.

Bupathi Reddy alerted his other brothers and informed the police, who began investigation after registering a case. It was not clear whether Bhoom Reddy hanged himself after killing his wife.

Bhoom Reddy, who was chairman of Venkateshwara temple committee for the last 10 years, had also attended ‘Bajana’ programme held in the shrine on Saturday night.

According to family members and relatives, the couple, who were suffering from health problems, committed suicide. While Lachavva was bedridden for quite some time, Bhoom Reddy was also suffering from health issues.

The couple was staying separately as their sons were not looking after them. Unable to lead life with health problems, they may have committed suicide, the villagers said.

SI Rajashekar visited the spot and enquired about the incident. Reasons for the death of the couple would be known only after thorough investigation, he said.
