Kannur, May 24

Five members of a family, including three children, were found dead at their residence at Cherupuzha in this district on Wednesday morning, police said.

According to preliminary investigation, it appears to be a case of murder-suicide where the couple, who got married last week, killed the three children of the woman from her first marriage and then hanged themselves.

The children were found hanging from the staircase and the couple from ceiling fans in the house.

The incident occurred on the intervening night of May 23-24, they said.

Locals alerted the police on Wednesday morning, a senior police officer said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
