The charred remains of three persons, including a 10-year-old boy, all said to be from the same family, were discovered in a house in Karamani Kuppam in the district on Monday morning, according to police.

A team of police personnel from Nellikuppam police station attended the scene after neighbors reported a stench emanating from the house and found three burnt bodies in separate rooms.

"The police had to break open the door to enter. The three persons were found charred in three separate rooms. There were some blood stains around," a senior police official stated, adding that preliminary investigations suggest it could be a case of murder.
