According to sources, they went missing from the house on Friday morning. During a search, the family found a slipper near the well and later discovered the bodies as they were preparing to file a complaint with the Melparamba police.
A police team headed by Melparamba inspector T. Uthamdas and sub-inspector Vijayan reached the spot and started an investigation.
The bodies were retrieved from the well by the Fire and Rescue Services personnel, local residents and the police. The police believe the two may have committed suicide.
Rubina’s husband Tajuddin works abroad. It is not clear if they faced any family issues. However, local residents have claimed that the family was facing financial hardship.
