Suicidal father stopped in the act

A suicidal father who had taken the lives of his two sons was stopped from hanging himself by a motorist who forcefully struck him on the side of the head.

Sanjeev Chada, who had killed and stowed his sons’ bodies in a car boot, had wrapped a length of rope around his neck into a death noose

“He appeared to be trying to choke himself,” Sean Foy told an inquest in Castlebar, Co Mayo, yesterday.
