ALAPPUZHA: The suicide note of the youth, who ended his life in Mannar yesterday after killing his four-year-old son, was recovered. Mithun Kumar alias John (34), son of Simon and Susan of Mannar grama panchayat Kuttamperoor Vallatheril near Mar Gregorious Orthodox Church, ended his life after killing his son Delwin John.

Mithun’s suicide note was recovered from a book in his room. ‘I am worried about my parents. Apologize. Mind is shattered. I’m going. Don’t want to miss my son. Though I know what I am doing is wrong, I’m taking him along with me. Should bury us together. Don't split us.... May God bless everyone,’ said the suicide note.

The police concluded that Mithun took the drastic step due to family issues. Mithun’s wife Celine is working as a nurse in Saudi for one and a half years. They got married five years ago. The two engage in a fight regularly and Celine used to go home. Mithun then goes and brings her back. Mithun, who was in the Gulf for ten years, returned home five years ago and used to go for painting work here.

Until three months ago, Mithun and his son were living alternately at his wife's house and a relative's house in Ranni. This was against his grudge for having given the property to his sister. However, he returned home after his father informed him that he got the property back. Meantime, Mithun's father said there were regular fights between his son and daughter-in-law. He clarified that the two had spoken even the day before his death.

Mithun and his son were found dead yesterday morning at 9 am. Mithun first suffocated his son to death and then committed suicide by hanging after slitting his vein.
