Siddipet: A husband and wife died, allegedly by suicide by consuming pesticide at Itikyal in Jagadevpur mandal.

Karkapatla Shekhar alias Yesu (30) and Sowmya (25) were married for six years. Since the couple was quarreling over petty issues quite frequently, Sowmya left for her parent’s home in Doulapur in the same mandal along with her two children.

However, she returned after Shekhar convinced her to stay with him 15 days ago. Since Shekhar took on hire an orchard at Turkapally in the Yadadri-Bhongir district, the couple shifted to Turkapally recently.

However, they entered into an argument at Turkapally and returned to their native place on Tuesday night. They straight away proceeded to their agriculture field and consumed pesticides. The locals found them and shifted them to a hospital where they died while undergoing treatment in the early hours of Wednesday.

The death of the couple left both their sons, aged below 5 years, orphaned. A case was registered.
