Man Arrested for Murdering Woman Friend in Coimbatore
COIMBATORE: A 64-year-old man was arrested by Madukkarai police in Coimbatore district for the murder of his woman friend following a family dispute at Madukkarai late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as A Petchimuthu, hails from Mariamman Kovil Street at Arisipalayam near Madukkarai. Two years ago, he had separated from his family due to a misunderstanding with his wife. Petchimuthu worked as a private security guard and resided in a rental house on Sundarapuram Road at Madukkarai.
Background of the Suspect and Victim
Meanwhile, Petchimuthu entered into an extramarital relationship with a woman named S Vasanthakumari (41) from Madukkarai. The victim, who worked in a private company in the area, had been a widow for 13 years and lived in a rental house with her two teenage sons. Petchimuthu and Vasanthakumari lived in close proximity, with the woman frequently visiting the man’s residence.
Incident Details
Suspicion arose between the two individuals when Vasanthakumari was believed to be conversing with other individuals over the phone, leading to repeated quarrels. On the fateful night, around 11.45 pm, Vasanthakumari went to Petchimuthu’s house, resulting in a heated argument.
In a fit of rage, Petchimuthu attacked Vasanthakumari with a machete and a wooden log, causing her to sustain severe injuries to her head and right shoulder. Despite her cries for help, it was the neighbours who intervened upon noticing blood seeping from Petchimuthu’s residence.
Arrest and Investigation
Upon discovering the gruesome scene, the neighbours promptly informed the Madukkarai police, who swiftly apprehended Petchimuthu early the next morning. The suspect was allegedly attempting to clean the crime scene to obfuscate evidence before being caught.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities are delving deeper into the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the Madukkarai community.
