The deceased Bhagyasree was attached to the Tamil Nadu Special Police fifth battalion and resided in the police quarters in Avadi with her husband Murali, a techie, and two sons aged two and five. Murali’s father who lived in Madhura Nagar in Tiruvottiyur passed away on October 19 and he had been staying with his family for his father’s funeral. On Wednesday morning, Bhagyasree, who went to the first floor of the house, did not step out for a long time and on suspicion, Murali went up and was shocked to see Bhagyasree hanging from the ceiling.
