Tirupati, Dec 2 (NationPress) Three bodies, including that of a toddler, were discovered in a residence located in Daminedu, on the outskirts of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, on Tuesday.
The remains of a couple who were in a live-in relationship, along with their son, were discovered in a decomposed condition at Indiramma houses colony, falling under the jurisdiction of Tiruchanur police station.
Residents reported a foul odor emanating from the house, prompting the police to break down the door and uncover the bodies.
The deceased were identified as Satyaraj, Ponnagutte Nayagi, both in their 30s, along with their three-year-old son, Manish.
Satyaraj was found hanging, while Nayagi and Manish’s bodies were located near the washroom. A bottle of poison was discovered in the residence, leading police to suspect that Satyaraj may have poisoned his partner and son before taking his own life.
Local residents informed police that the family had not been seen outside since November 22.
The deceased were originally from Gudiyattam in the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu.
Initial investigations revealed that Satyaraj had left his wife and was involved in an extramarital affair with Nayagi, who also hailed from the same area. They had relocated to Tirupati three months prior.
Both Satyaraj and Nayagi worked as daily wage laborers in the locality.
Circle Inspector Sunil Kumar stated that the bodies have been sent to the government hospital for autopsy.
The police have initiated a case and are actively investigating.
Meanwhile, in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, authorities are continuing their investigation into the suicide of the daughter of senior IAS officer Chinnarammudu.
Madhuri Sahithibai (27) was found hanging in the bathroom of her room at their Tadepalli residence on Sunday night. Madhuri had a love marriage with Rajesh Naidu from Nandyal district in March 2025. The inter-caste marriage turned tumultuous within three months, as Madhuri accused her husband of harassment. She returned to her parents' home two months ago.
Following a complaint from Madhuri’s family, the police have registered a case and are conducting an investigation, with allegations that Rajesh was pressuring her for additional dowry.
