CHALAKKUDY: A youth committed suicide by jumping into the river after hitting a woman. The deceased has been identified as Chalakkudy Vettukadavu native Naito (32). The woman, Vyppin native Sweety (39), got injured and is currently undergoing treatment at Thrissur Medical College Hospital. The incident took place at around 8.30 am on Sunday at Vettukadavu.

Sweety, an unmarried woman, and her kids have been living with Naito for a month. Ever since they started living together, Naito used to get drunk and argue with Sweety. On Sunday, he argued with her and following this, he attacked her. Sweety, who was critically injured, was first shifted to the Taluk Hospital and later to the Medical College. Later, Naito jumped into the river at 8.30 am due to the subsequent depression. Though firefighters rushed him to the hospital, he was soon pronounced dead.
