A couple hailing from Vizianagaram district committed suicide at Ram Naresh Nagar of KPHB Colony.

The body of Venkatesh (24) was found hanging from the ceiling fan while that of his wife was lying on the cot, KPHB Colony Inspector G. Baswa Reddy said.

No suicide note found

No suicide note was found but Venkatesh’s relatives told the police that pecuniary problems could have driven couple to suicide.

Venkatesh earlier worked in private junior colleges as computer operator but quit the job a few months ago. The couple has an 18-month-old son and a three-month-old daughter.

Venkatesh’s brother came to the house in the night and found the main door bolted from inside.

He peeped through window and saw Venkatesh’s body hanging.
