Tragic Death by Poison: A Chilling Pattern Emerges

A 38-year-old man died of suspected poisoning in Kothamangalam, allegedly by his female friend. The victim succumbed after being hospitalized. Police have found evidence of herbicide, paraquat, at his home. A similar case occurred in Tamil Nadu where a woman was sentenced for poisoning her male friend.

In a disturbing event in Kothamangalam, a 38-year-old man has reportedly died due to poisoning, with his female friend becoming the prime suspect, according to police sources.

Hospitalized on the morning of July 30, the man tragically passed away the following night. Investigators discovered a bottle of paraquat, a herbicide, at his residence, pointing to the alleged method of poisoning.

Police have since taken the 30-year-old woman into custody, with charges upgraded to murder. This case echoes a similar incident in Tamil Nadu where a young woman's poisoned tonic led to her friend's death, resulting in her death sentence earlier this year.
