Indian woman in Dubai ready to give police statement after surviving suicide bid

Dubai, February 15,2012: Sreesha, a 30-year-old Indian woman, who was found in her apartment in Dubai with her wrists slashed in an apparent suicide bid, along with the bodies of her husband and daughter, has recovered and will soon give a statement to the police. Earlier, last month, the Indian couple in Dubai, under financial problems, killed their five-year-old daughter Avantika and then attempted to commit suicide.

Rijesh, 32, and his wife Sreesha killed their daughter and then tried to commit suicide. While Rijesh hanged himself to death, Sreesha slit her wrist and neck but survived, police said. “The father had hanged himself while the mother was found with slash wounds on her neck and wrist,” said Brigadier Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri, Director of Dubai Police’s Criminal Investigation Department. The middle-income family, hailing from Chakkarakkal in Kannur district of Kerala, was reportedly facing financial difficulties. According to Mansouri, Rijesh had left two letters — one was addressed to the father’s family in which he apologised and one for the Dubai Police, explaining the reasons behind his decision to kill himself and his family. While the family’s immediate relatives and friends have expressed shock over the unfortunate incident, others in the Indian community say they are alarmed at the rising number of suicide cases. Rijesh had been in the UAE for 13 years. He married Sreesha about six years back and was working as an accountant with an interior design company before moving to Panasonic about three months ago. His parents and two sisters live in India.
If it is proven that Sreesha was also involved in suffocating her daughter, she would face charges of murder and attempted suicide.
