Kundapur, Jun 29: Vishnu U R (22), a first year nursing student and Princi K Philip (25), a final year nursing student, both studying in SCS Nursing College in Mangalore, committed suicide together in a lodge in Kollur on Monday June 28 by hanging themselves.

In separate suicide notes left behind by the two, they said they were in love with each other, and that they had no other choice but to end their lives, as living together had been rendered impossible. Princi was married last year, and her husband works in Dubai.

Princi was a resident of R S Pamban in Alappuzha district of Kerala, while Vishnu U R hailed from Anchal, post Nadiyar in Kollam district. The couple had rented a room in Kollur on Sunday evening. As the room doors were not opened for long, the employees of the lodge forced them open late morning on Monday, and found the two hanging from the room’s ceiling fan.

In addition to hanging themselves with the help of a new sari, the two had also cut their blood veins to doubly ensure that they do not survive, it is learnt.
