She leaves note blaming husband’s torture!
On Tuesday, A Kerala journalist working for news organization Reuters in Bengaluru committed suicide as she was unable to bear her husband's torture. Shruthi Narayanan, 37 years old killed herself at her apartment in Whitefield and was found dead by her brother, Nishanth Narayanan.
"I am going to end my life and two people will be the happiest. You and I," read the suicide note she left for her husband. She also asks her husband to marry a deaf and blind woman if he marries again or that no one can stand his torture for more than 10 minutes.
Her techie husband Anish Koyadan Koroth had returned to Kannur, his native place, on March 19, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
“I am happy because I am escaping from this torturous life and you will be happy because you will not have me in your life anymore0,” she said in the suicide note dated March 20.
Nishanth found her dead when he went to check on her because her phone was unavailable and she did not report for work on Monday. It was unusual for her to not do so and it was something that had never happened ever before. Nishanth also lives in Bengaluru with his wife.
The police found three different suicide notes in the house. One was for the police, one for her husband Anish Koroth, and one for her aged parents, Narayanan Periya and Satyabhama, in Kasaragod town.
In the letter addressed to her parents, she says that if she lives she will be the cause of their sorrow for years, while their sorrow will be limited to a few days if she dies.
Shruthi has also worked as a deputy production editor with Press Association, a news agency of the UK and Ireland, and later joined Reuters in 2013, where she worked for approx. nine years.
