Kerala: Man, two children found dead inside house
Kollam (Kerala) (PTI): A 35-year-old man and two children were found dead inside their house near here, police said on Friday.
Police said Jose Pramod had allegedly murdered his two sons -- Devanarayanan (9) and Devananda (7) -- and then died by suicide at his house near Pattathanam area.
"The incident came to light when Pramod's father-in-law came to the house this morning. As he found the door locked from inside, he alerted the neighbours," a police officer said.
The police forcefully opened the doors and found the three lifeless bodies.
"His (Pramod) wife is a doctor and was on duty at the time of the incident," the police officer said.
The children were found hanging, while Pramod was found dead in another room.
It is suspected that Pramod murdered the children before killing himself, the officer added.
A probe into the incident has been initiated by the police.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
