A civil engineer, who was jobless for the last few months, allegedly committed suicide by consuming poison after slitting the throats of his teenage son and daughter with a tile cutter at their flat in a multistoried building in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal, police said. While his 16-year-old son died of his injuries, 14-year-old daughter’s condition is said to be critical, they said.
His wife had also consumed poison with the man but survived.
The incident occurred during the intervening night of Friday and Saturday in Bhopal’s Misrod area, they said.
Both the man (55) and his wife were in acute depression, according to a primary probe based on the latter’s statements. Her statements also revealed that the couple had planned the entire episode nearly two to three days ago.
