The IT engineer who was found dead in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore with his wife, son, and daughter was apparently under stress after losing his job.
According to Hindustan Times, police found evidence of the online purchase of sodium nitrate, which he probably used to kill his family and himself. The police also believe that he had suffered losses in online trading. However, they are still scanning bank accounts details, e-mails and other contents on his laptop and mobile phones to determine the reasons that might have driven him to kill his family and end his life.
Bodies of four members of a family were found in the guest room of a water park situated in Khudel village on Thursday. The deceased have been identified as Abhishek Saxena (45), Priti Saxena (42), Aaditya (14) and Ananya (14). According to the police, the family was poisoned and prima facie it looks like a case of suicide.
