Five members of a family in Kerala's Thrissur district were found dead in their residence in Kecheri on Saturday. 

The deceased have been identified as Johny Joseph (49), his wife Soma (34), sons Anson (11) and Ashley (9), and daughter Ann Mary (7).

According to reports, financial crisis drove Johny to commit suicide after killing the rest of his family by slitting their throat.

Soma’s mother was also staying with the family but Johny had sent her home on Friday. Johny’s friend Jose told The Times of India that the family was facing financial problems and Johny was troubled over it.

“Just a week ago, Johny had told me about the need for money he has to give to a person whose daughter was about to get married. In between, he also faced issues with the property of his wife at Thalakottukkara near Kecheri. Johny had taken a loan pledging the property following which he was having problems with his in-laws,” Jose told ToI.

He also said that Johny had taken around Rs 30 lakhs loan from KSFE.
