Three members of a family were found dead in their houses near Kariyapatti on Tuesday.

The police identified the deceased as M. Muniyammal (40), her mother, Adaikkalam (65) and her daughter, Jayalalitha (16). While Muniyammal and her daughter lived in a house in Mushtakurichi, her mother lived in the neighbourhood.

Police said that neighbours had found the women dead in their houses, which fall under the Aviyoor police station limits on Tuesday morning.

The police suspected that domestic problems could have driven the female members of the family to kill themselves. The bodies have been taken to Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai.
