Palakkad: A Thrissur native died and his family members were hospitalised on Sunday after they allegedly consumed poison in a suspected suicide pact. The man was identified as Ramakrishnan (55).
His wife, Vasanth (50), and son, Jithu (28), are undergoing treatment at the Government Medical College Hospital, Thrissur.
Although the family lived in Meetna, in Ottapalam, Palakkad, they were natives of Thrissur. This had led to delays in verifying their identities and registering a case.
“They are natives of Thrissur. We are waiting for their relatives to arrive and provide their details,” an officer at the Ottapalam Police Station told Onmanorama.
According to the police, Ramakrishnan, his wife and their son are suspected of having ingested rat poison.
