The deceased were identified as Jyothi, aged around 35, and the couple's son Abhitej (6) and daughter Sahasra (4).

Goud is absconding, poice said. "Exactly why he killed them -- whether it was sudden provocation or some old dispute -- is not yet clear," Assistant Commissioner of Police V Ravinder Reddy told PTI. As per the preliminary investigation, Goud, who also worked on his own from home besides working at a dental clinic, was not doing well in his profession for the past few months, the ACP said.

A Manmohan, station house officer, Meerpet police station, said Goud's neighbours today spotted the dead bodies in the house and alerted police.
