Karkala: In a rather heart wrenching incident, a childless couple allegedly ended life by setting themselves blaze at Begooru. The incident came to lighton Saturday.
The deceased are Seetharam Achari (55) and his wife Sunanda (44).
The couple lived in an isolated pocket of Begooru. But, since they did not have well of their own, Sunanda used to come to her neighbour’s house every morning to draw water. Since Sunanda did not come to take water on Friday, the neighbours visited the couple’s house on Saturday morning and found the interiors of the house reduced to ashes. The couple too had been charred to death.
