A middle-aged man on Tuesday committed suicide by hanging, after poisoning his two sons to death at his residence near Sulur.
According to police, Veerabhadran was found hanging on the ceiling of the house in Kadampatti, some 25 km from here. His sons – Ramu and Lakshman – were also found dead, after being administered poison by Veerabhadran.
Family dispute was said to be the reason behind this extreme step. Further investigations are on.
