Kochi: Five persons, including three children, were found dead at a rented house here on Saturday, police said.
According to police, the deceased consisted of two women and three children who were from Thiruvananthapuram and had been staying in a rented house in Vaduthala here for the past few months for treatment at a private hospital nearby.
Police said the women were identified as Kanakalatha and her daughter Aswathy.
