Mangaluru: Three members of a family were found dead at their rented house at Kallapu in Mangaluru taluk, police sources said on Tuesday.

It is suspected that the family might have taken the extreme step on Saturday night, they said. The suspicion is that the husband first poisoned his wife and son and then committed suicide.

The incident came to light on Monday after neighbors who noticed the family members were not seen for two days, broke open a window to find the three of them dead inside.

Vinod, who was employed in Tata Housing in Mumbai, had returned to his hometown a year ago and was residing in a rented house near Kallapu.

He was involved in the real estate business. Police officials have visited the spot and further investigations are on.
