A father has pleaded guilty to the murder of his wife and their two young children after they were found at a flat with serious injuries.
Saju Chelavalel admitted to three counts of murder during a 12-minute hearing on Wednesday (April 5). The 52-year-old, who was remanded in custody, spoke through a Malayalam interpreter and admitted to being responsible for the deaths of health worker Anju Asok, 35, Jeeva Saju, six, and Janvi Saju, four.
All three of the victims were discovered at a property in Petherton Court, Kettering, on December 15 last year. Despite best efforts from paramedics, Ms Asok died at the scene while the two children died later in hospital.
