Elderly couple held for killing daughter’s former boyfriend

TIRUPUR: A couple used to be arrested for killing a 25-year-old man, who threatened their newly-married daughter at Udumalpet within the district on Saturday.

The deceased used to be identified as V Murugavel of Kandiyakouden Pudur close to Udumalpet. “His circle of relatives had migrated to Tirupur from Balasamudram close to Palani in Dindigul district. He used to be operating as a wall painter. Murugavel used to be in a dating with the daughter of S Karuppasamy, his neighbour. Though he wanted to marry her, the woman objected. With her oldsters’ support, she married a person from Kangeyam six months ago,” a police officer stated.


The couple visited Karuppasamy’s house on Friday. “Murugavel came to the house and quarrelled with Karuppasamy. He wanted to grasp why the lady rejected him. As the quarrel grew to become violent, Karuppasamy stuck hold of Murugavel and his wife Deivanai, 42, hit him with an iron rod,” the officer told TOI.


Murugavel, who received severe injuries on his head, used to be rushed to the Udumalpet Government Hospital. But he used to be declared brought lifeless. Subsequently, Udumalpet police arrested Karuppasamy and Deivanai.


When police tried to shift the frame to the Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital for undertaking postmortem, Murugavel’s kin objected and staged a road blockade. Postmortem used to be performed within the Udumalpet medical institution and the frame used to be handed over to the victim’s circle of relatives.
