Couple found hanging from tree in Howrah

The bodies of a 42-year-old

man and his wife were found hanging from a tree in West Bengal's Howrah district on Thursday, police said.

Locals spotted the bodies of Haradhan Kayal and his wife Namita hanging from a mango tree outside their house in Amta's Basantapur area, they said.

Haradhan was a fish seller at a local market and it is suspected that the couple committed suicide because they were in huge debt, police said.

The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination, an official said, adding that further investigation is underway.

They are survived by two sons.
