Three sisters and their brother committed suicide in their flat in a society in the Dayalbagh area of Surajkund here under mysterious circumstances. 

The bodies had deteriorated when they were recovered this morning after neighbours reported the matter to the police. Meena Mathew (42), Beena Mathews, (40) Jaya Mathews (39) and and their brother Pradeep Mathews (37) had ended life few days ago by hanging.

In a puported suicide note, they claimed that nobody was responsible for their death. Though the cause of the death is still to be ascertained, police sources claimed that circumstances point towards the poor financial condition of the family after the death of their parents. 

While their father expired a few years ago, mother died five months back, it is learnt. The victims have named some person, to whom the family reportedly owed some money and who had helped them directly or indirectly in the past.

A team of forensic experts visited the spot. The police have sent the bodies for post mortem examination and have ruled out the murder angle. 

None of the vicitms was married. They had stopped interacting with neighbours for the past couple of weeks, suggesting that they had been under some stress, police sources claimed. In the purported note, they have expressed the desire of burial in the cremation ground of Burari in Delhi. The bodies will be handed to over to Father of local Church, said the police.
