Karukachal: A 45-year-old man was found dead at his house at Koothrappally in Kottayam district after relatives alleged foul play over his wife's death last weekend. With the twin tragedy, the couple's two children have been orphaned.
The deceased, Ben Issac (Benny), was found hanging at his house on Thursday morning. Though he was rushed to the hospital in Karukachal, his life could not be saved.
