Chennai - Couple pick lots to decide whether to commit suicide; Hang together

In a shocking incident in Chennai, a couple committed suicide after a long bout of depression. The two hanged to death after picking lots on whether to commit suicide or not.

 

Sarathy was very attached to his mother and after she passed away in 2017 he could not get over it. So as to cure his depression, Sarathy's brother got him married to Prashanthi in July 2018. However, Sarathy continued to stay depressed.

 

Sarathy's brother moved out of the house last month which pushed the couple into loneliness. On Wednesday, the brother tried contacting the couple but his calls were not picked up. When he rushed to the house, he found the two hanging in the bedroom.

 

Upon investigation, the police came upon a suicide letter written by Sarathy. The man mentioned how he was unable to get over from his mother's memories. The couple left behind money for last rites to be performed. Reportedly, Prashanti was four months pregnant when they committed suicide.
