Karkala, Jun 17: Four members of a family at Mahalaxmi lane in the town attempted to commit suicide. The woman among them has died in the incident.

Govinda (40), Gauthami (32), Sudarshan (11) and Karthik (7) had consumed poison at late night on Thursday, June 16. They were rushed to Manipal KMC hospital but Gauthami died without responding to treatment.

Govinda and Gauthami are couple. Sudarshan and Karthik are their children. Financial constraints seem to be the reason for the extreme step at the outset.

A police case stands registered at town police station.

    Suicide is matter of time and situation. At that moment nothing comes in ones mind so they take that step. If he/she survives then in lifetime he will feel shame/guilt for the act he has done.

    No one will ready to give their children to others. And if they give also no one will take the custody without proper reason/investigation.

    Everything is easy to write/tell. But reality is different.

    In today's world when EGO and MONEY rules over humanity and humbleness, be ready to read/hear many more cases like this.

    May the soul of Gouthami rest in peace and may God grant strength to her kids and husband to overcome her loss.

    When couple decided to commit suicide..at least handover children's legally to those who not owned. Childhood couples will look after such childrens better than real parents. Why to kill them.
