Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 15 A Kerala man, convicted for hacking to death his 6-year-old daughter in June this year, on Friday died after jumping out of a train in which he was being taken to a jail, officials said.

Sree Mahesh, 36, who had hacked his daughter to death at his house in Mavelikera in Alappuzha district, was being taken from a court in Alappuzha to the Central jail here.

According to the police, around 2.50 p.m. Mahesh said that he wanted to go to the toilet.
