Bargarh: The bodies of four members of a family were found inside their house at Jamdola village in Bheden block here on Sunday.
The bodies were of a couple, and their two children. They have been identified as Seshadeb Meher (60), his wife Khireshwari Meher (55), son Arbind Meher (30), and daughter Sibani Meher (22).
While Arbind was found hanging, all others were found lying on the bed with injury marks on their bodies.
It is suspected that the death occurred two to three days back. It was the smell emanating from the house after which neighbours reported the matter to police.
The bodies were retrieved in the presence of the District Magistrate. Further investigation into the matter is on. It is doubted that Arbind murdered his family members and committed suicide.
