The deceased were identified as P. Krishnaiah (40), his wife Suhasini (35) and their daughter Amrutha (19).
Preliminary investigation by the police revealed that the family resorted to the extreme step due to Suhasini’s ill health. Depressed over her health problems, the couple and their daughter hanged themselves to a tree in a mango grove.
Police shifted the bodies to a government hospital for autopsy. “We have registered a case and took up further investigation,” a police officer said.
