Dubai: An Indian nurse was found dead in her apartment in Karama on Saturday, family sources said.
The deceased has been identified as 30-year-old Santhi Thomas, who hailed from the state of Kerala.
According to a family friend, it was Santhi’s husband who found her hanging from the ceiling fan in their apartment when he got back from work.
He said Santhi, who has a three-year-old daughter, had been married for four years and had joined her husband in Dubai over two years ago. She was working with a private hospital.
“Santhi’s parents said the couple had some discord between them and the child is living with her father’s parents. They said she had earlier booked a ticket to go home and it was cancelled,” the family friend said.
Dubai Police, which is investigating the case, has interrogated the husband, he added. Gulf News could not immediately get comments from the police.
