An elderly couple was found dead with their throats slit on their bed in Sector 40 here on Sunday morning.
Prima facie it seemed that the man, Laxmi Dass (76), first slit his wife Shashi Bala’s (73) throat with a knife and then used the same weapon to kill himself, a police officer said. Shashi Bala was stated to be ailing and bedridden for last more than three years.The bodies of Laxmi Das, a retired government official and his wife Shashi Bala were found lying in a pool of blood in their house, Police said. A suicide note was also found near the bodies, which was purportedly written by Das, in which it was mentioned that nobody should be held responsible for their deaths. The incident came to light when the couple’s son knocked on their door in the morning, but got no response after which he alerted others in the neighbourhood.
