Bodies of Sharjah suicide-murder case victims return home

An Indian man and his family were involved in suicide-murder case in Sharjah, and their bodies have been transported home. The 35-year-old guy committed suicide by jumping off a Sharjah apartment building last month after admitting in a letter that he had murdered his wife and kids before killing himself. “The deaths were registered and the bodies of the Sharjah family who died earlier were repatriated today after necessary documents and other formalities were completed,” said Bijender Singh, consul, Consular and Labour at the Indian Consulate in Dubai. The husband poisoned the wife, according to forensic tests, Sharjah Police previously disclosed. The man's two daughters, who ranged in age from three to seven, had been strangled. The wife and kids' bodies showed no evidence of violence or resistance. The individual was identified as a Sharjah resident who worked in a neighboring emirate, according to the first investigations, according to Major General Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi, Commander-in-Chief of Sharjah Police. The man's lack of motivation or financial difficulties for jumping from an apartment's 10th level was also made clear. The Sharjah Police's Central Operations Room received a call of a person falling from a tower in the Al Majaz neighborhood at the end of March. National Ambulance personnel and patrols from the Buhaira Police Station flocked to the scene, but the man's life could not be saved. The police found a note: 'I killed my wife and two daughters while they were inside the apartment.’ The wife and daughters' deaths were discovered after the police secured permission from the PP to examine the apartment.
