A couple ended their lives on Friday after their son asked them to vacate the house in which they were living at Anna Nagar in Pullampadi near Tiruchi.
The names of the dead were given as N. Ramesh, 44, and R. Sumithra, 35. The couple reportedly took the extreme step out of frustration after their son, who was living in a rented house with his wife, asked them to vacate the house which was owned by them.
C. Natarajan, 71, father of Ramesh, filed a complaint with the Kallakudi police station. An investigation is on.
