The bodies of the two missing children of an ICFAI University professor, who committed suicide here last week, were found Monday, police said.
A. Vittal Virinchi (9) and A. Nanda Vihari (5) were found murdered near the railway track at Beerappaguda in Medchal on the city outskirts.
Police suspect that their father Raghvendra Guru Prasad (43) killed them before committing suicide over marital discord.
The professor's body was found on railway tracks in Secunderabad and it was identified on Sunday.
Police launched search for two sons accompanying him after his wife Suhasini lodged a complaint at Malkajgiri police station.
Guru Prasad and his wife were living separately and and a divorce case was pending in a city court. The court a few months ago had permitted the professor to take the children with him on weekends.
He picked up the children from his wife's house at Anandbagh in Malkajgiri on Saturday morning and the same evening, he committed suicide by jumping before a train.
Police suspect that he took the children to a plot owned by him in Medchal and after murdering them, took his own life.
