Family in shock as Malayali couple found dead in Kuwait apartment
KOCHI: The family of Bincy, a 35-year-old nurse from Kerala who was found dead along with her husband Suraj in their apartment in Kuwait, is struggling to come to terms with the tragedy. Her two children and bedridden father are yet to be informed about the deaths. The couple was found dead on Wednesday night. Preliminary reports suggest that Suraj, 39, killed Bincy before taking his own life. Bincy hailed from the Mannoor ward of Mazhuvanoor panchayat in Ernakulam, while Suraj was a resident of Mangalam, Naduvil in Kannur district. Both were working as nurses in Kuwait. They are survived by their two children—Evelyn, 9, and Edwin, 6. 'We are not aware of any issues in their married life. They seemed happy and were looking forward to migrating to Australia. All paperwork for the move was completed,' said Basil, Bincy's brother. According to Basil, Bincy had returned to Kuwait two weeks ago, during Easter week, while Suraj followed last Friday. 'The children are staying with us. We haven't yet told them or our father who is bedridden, about the incident,' he added. The family was informed about the deaths on Thursday. Post-mortem procedures have been completed, and the bodies are expected to be flown to Kannur on Monday. The local community is reeling from the loss of the couple, who were regular visitors to the area during their annual vacations.

Indian Man from Kerala Kills Wife, Commits Suicide in Kuwait
KUWAIT CITY, May 2 : A routine alert turned into a chilling investigation for Farwaniya security personnel after the Operations Room of the Ministry of Interior received a report that led them to a quiet apartment in the densely populated area of Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh. What unfolded behind the locked doors of the residence was a scene of unspeakable horror. Responding officers arrived at the apartment and, after repeated unanswered knocks, grew suspicious of the silence within. With no response and mounting concern, authorities sought and received approval from the Public Prosecutor to forcibly enter the premises. Inside, they discovered the body of an Asian woman, lying lifeless with her veins slit in what appeared to be a deliberate and brutal act. Blood was found splattered across the hallway, bearing grim witness to the violence that had taken place. Further inspection of the apartment led officers to a second body — the woman's husband. According to initial reports, he is believed to have taken his own life shortly after killing his wife. Neighbors told police they had heard the couple engage in a loud and violent argument earlier that day. This was followed by the woman's screams for help. However, despite their alarm, fear prevented any of them from intervening or contacting authorities in time. Investigations revealed that the couple were both Indian nationals and medical professionals — the woman in her 30s and the man in his 40s. The tragedy is made all the more jarring by the fact that both individuals had dedicated their careers to saving lives. Sources confirmed their identities as Sooraj and Bincy, originally from Ernakulam, in the southern Indian state of Kerala. Sooraj was employed by Kuwait's Ministry of Health, while Bincy worked for the Ministry of Defence. Reports indicate the couple had recently traveled to India to take their two children back to their homeland. They had returned to Kuwait just days before the fatal incident, leaving the children in the care of family members in India. The Public Prosecutor, after visiting the scene, ordered forensic teams to collect evidence and fingerprints. The bodies have since been transferred to the Department of Forensic Medicine for further examination. The motive behind the apparent murder-suicide remains unclear, and authorities have launched a full-scale investigation to determine the circumstances that led to this devastating end. As the community reels from the shock, questions linger — not only about what could drive two professionals to such a tragic conclusion, but also about the silent cries that went unheard until it was too late.

Kerala nurse couple found dead in Kuwait; murder-suicide suspected
Dubai: A Malayali couple working as nurses in Kuwait were found dead with knife wounds in their apartment in what is suspected to be a case of homicide-suicide, according to multiple media reports. The deceased were identified as Suraj Kuzhiyath John (39) from Mandalam in Naduvil grama panchayat, Kannur, and his wife Bincy (35) from Keezhillam, near Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district. The couple, married for 11 years, are survived by their daughter Evelyn (9) and son Edwin (6), who are currently in Kerala. According to reports, the incident took place on Thursday morning in Abbasiya, a residential locality in Kuwait. The couple had reportedly returned from a night shift and were preparing to relocate to Australia for new job opportunities. Initial findings and suspicions Initial findings suggest that a domestic dispute may have led to the tragedy. Neighbours told local media that they heard loud arguments coming from the apartment earlier in the day. The building's security guard discovered the couple's bodies later that morning and informed the police. Both were found with knives in their hands. Alleged confession Quoting relatives and acquaintances, reports say Suraj called friends after the incident, allegedly confessing that he had fatally injured his wife and was going to end his own life. Shortly after, he removed his WhatsApp profile photo and deleted his status updates. Suraj worked as a nurse at a government health facility in Kuwait, while Bincy was employed under the Ministry of Defence. The couple had returned to Kuwait just two days prior, on April 29, after spending Easter in Kerala. Their children remained with Bincy's family in Kerala as the couple prepared for their move to Australia. Family and relatives' reactions Speaking to Manorama News, Baby Odampallil, a Naduvil ward member and family friend, said, 'We suspect an argument broke out after their night shift. In a fit of rage, he may have stabbed her. It could have been a tragic accident. Suraj was devastated when he spoke to friends,' he was quoted as saying. Suraj's mother reportedly called him around 11:26 am IST after sensing something was wrong. He told her Bincy had stepped out to buy something. By 12:30 pm IST, both bodies had been moved to a local hospital for autopsy. Media reports say Bincy suffered a stab wound to the chest while Suraj had a neck wound. Investigation underway The post-mortem is expected on Saturday, as Friday was a public holiday in Kuwait. The bodies are likely to be flown back to Kerala early next week. Suraj's elder sister is also a nurse in Kuwait, while his younger sister works in Bengaluru. The couple's funeral will be held at St Jude Church in Mandalam, their hometown in Kannur.
