CHENNAI : A man and his wife were found dead in their house in the wee hours of Monday.

Police said the couple identified as Velu (51), a goldsmith, and Velammal (45) of Soolaipallam in MGR Nagar police station limits had allegedly consumed a liquid from a bottle, which is used for making gold ornaments. The couple have two sons and a daughter.

Investigation officers said that owing to some debts, they could have taken this extreme step. They had recovered a letter reportedly written by Velu.

The bodies have been sent for post-mortem in Government Royapettah Hospital. The MGR Nagar police have registered a case of suicide and are investigating.
