Nurse Dies by Suicide Months After Killing Parents
Surekha was a 25-year-old nurse living in Sangareddy.
Her parents had opposed her plan to marry a man from another caste.
Police said she gave both parents too much sedative medicine in January 2026.
The sedatives caused their deaths while they were sleeping.
At first, neighbors were told that the parents were not waking up.
A postmortem examination later showed that they had died from an overdose.
Surekha was arrested, released on bail, and moved into a hostel.
Months later, she died by suicide in a way similar to how her parents were killed.
Twenty-five-year-old nurse Surekha died by suicide in her hostel in Sangareddy on Sunday night.
She had been released on bail after allegedly killing her parents, Dasharatham and Lakshmi, in January 2026.
Police said she used high doses of sedatives after her parents opposed her inter-caste relationship.
The deaths were initially suspected to be suicide, but postmortem reports indicated fatal sedative overdoses.
Surekha reportedly confessed after giving contradictory statements and later died in a similar manner.
