Jayakanthan Sivasubramaniam was investigated by the Post Office during the Horizon scandal
Gowri Jayakanthan's husband, Jayakanthan Sivasubramaniam, took his own life around 20 years ago. His sudden death came shortly after he was investigated by the Post Office during the Horizon scandal in 2005.
Jayakanthan ran a string of convenience stores and he'd recently taken on a branch in west London. Suddenly, there was money missing from its accounts. Gowri recently spoke publicly for the first time of the moment she discovered her husband's body, in the attic of their home. Slowly, Gowri rebuilt her family's life. She moved back to Sri Lanka for a while, where she had met her husband when they were both young children. She returned to the UK and settled in Liverpool.
Yet it concluded: "The discrepancies identified during the audit cannot on the balance of probabilities be presumed to be Horizon shortfalls." Kevan Jones, a Labour MP who sits on the Post Office's Horizon Compensations Advisory Board, ITV News: "This case is an absolutely tragic one, but one of too many unfortunately. The Post Office have either destroyed records or in some cases just lost them.
