THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: One more member of a family that committed suicide on Sunday was found dead on a railway track near Pettah on Monday.
Sajina, 28, an employee of the Thiruvananthapuram airport and sister of Jasmine whose body was fished out of Akkulam lake along with her daughter's the previous night, was also suspected to have committed suicide.
Their mother Sofida, who also jumped into the lake, was rescued while an onlooker prevented Jasmine's two children from taking the extreme step.
