In the village of Pazhanji in Thrissur district, a heartbreaking incident has shocked the community. Siby, a 51‑year‑old designer who recently lost his job in Qatar, returned home and, together with his 18‑year‑old daughter Aleena, allegedly entered a suicide pact. Aleena’s body was discovered hanging from the ceiling, while Siby’s was found in a well within the family compound.

Family Condition and Rescue

Siby’s wife Beena, 45, and their 17‑year‑old son Adithyan were rushed to the hospital after ingesting poison. Beena also slashed her wrist but survived thanks to prompt medical care. It was Adithyan who alerted the police, enabling a swift response.

Background and Social Context

Police reports indicate that Siby’s unemployment in Qatar prompted his return to Kerala just a week ago. The loss of livelihood and associated social stigma appear to have driven the family to the brink. Local official K. Jayasankar, president of Kattakambal panchayat, noted that both Aleena and Adithyan were high‑achieving students—Aleena was preparing for a second NEET attempt, while Adithyan secured admission in an engineering program. Their aspirations underscore how economic shock can jeopardize the future of promising youth.

Police Investigation and Note

A brief suicide note found at the scene read, “We are fed up with life.” While the investigation is ongoing, authorities suspect that the job loss and subsequent loss of self‑esteem triggered the fatal decision.

Looking Ahead

Medical teams are now focusing on the recovery of Beena and Adithyan, with mental‑health professionals emphasizing the need for counseling and financial assistance to prevent similar tragedies. The case serves as a stark reminder for policymakers to strengthen employment safety nets and crisis support mechanisms.
