Mother-son duo in Channarayapatna allegedly commits suicide by drowning; death note of son found
Channarayapatna: In an incident reported from Heerisave hobli in the taluk, a mother-son duo living in Kabbali village allegedly committed suicide by drowning in the village pond on Monday.
The deceased are identified as Jayanthi (60) and her son Bharat (35). While a death note by Bharat has been found, depression due to family fights is suspected to be the reason for the suicide.
Bharat had married Geetha of Bagooranahalli in Gandasi hobli eight months ago, but there had been frequent clashes between the couple. Following a recent fight with her husband, Geetha had left for her paternal home and had returned to her husband’s house after two rounds of third party mediation.
The fights between Bharat and Geetha reportedly continued in spite of the mediation, which is learned to have frustrated Bharat and his mother Jayanthi and driven them to end their lives.
The neighbours who found the death note went to the banks of the ponds and found the footwear of Bharat and Jayanthi. The local fire brigade personnel were called and they retrieved the bodies of the deceased from the waters of the pond.
A CCTV camera installed outside a house in the village is learned to have captured the last minutes of the mother-son duo. Jayanthi and Bharat are seen in the footage of the camera visiting the village temple at around 3.15 am on Monday and then walking towards the pond.
