Bengaluru:
Two children were found dead on a bed and their father was discovered seriously injured in the toilet at a five-star hotel in Bengaluru in a suspected case of murder-suicide.
40-year-old SG Imran was found lying in a pool of blood in the toilet with his neck slit. The bodies of his daughters, aged 10 and 5, were discovered just metres away.
The man was rushed to the city’s Manipal Hospital by the hotel’s security staff. He is critical.
Police said Imran suspected his wife of having an affair.
“I didn’t want my kids to grow up with this kind of mother, so I decided to kill them and myself,” police sources quoted him as saying.
