CHENNAI: A 19-year-old student was allegedly killed by a man on Friday afternoon as she was leaving her college at West KK Nagar.

M Aswini, a first year B Com student of Meenakshi Academy of Higher Education and Research, was allegedly attacked when she was walking on the Loganathan street, about 100 meters from her college, by 26-year-old Alagesan.

At around 2.45 pm today, Aswini was walking towards the bus stop when Alagesan, who was also carrying a bottle of kerosene, stopped and slit her throat using a knife.

Aswini has not been attending college since her family lodged a complaint last month against Alagesan. Sources said that only for the past few days she started attending college but has been staying at her uncle's house at Jafferkhanpet. 26-year-old Alagesan who was nabbed by the local public after he stabbed Aswini.

Aswini has lost her father and was staying with her mother at Maduravoyal, where Alagesan is also residing. Police said Alagesan was working as a water can supplier in the locality.

The News Minute reports that as recently as February 16, Aswini went to the police and filed a harassment complaint against Alagesan. The complaint mentioned that the two were in a relationship but Aswini ended it after she realised "he was not a good person". However, the police reportedly only warned Alagesan off and did not take any action.

According to police sources, Alagesan already had a police case registered against him. He was out on bail when he allegedly committed the crime.

Following the incident, locals caught him and handed him over to the police.

On February 20, Chennai witnessed a similar incident wherein a second-year postgraduate student was allegedly stabbed six times in broad daylight at Anna Nagar Tower Park, by a disgruntled lover.

The assailant, identified as N Rajesh (23), an electrical engineer had subsequently hurt himself also with the knife he was carrying, police sources said.

Last April, a 22-year-old youth John Mathew allegedly hammered a girl to death and subsequently committed suicide by hanging from a tree at Mamallapuram.

In May, S Ilayaraja working as a fireman allegedly killed a 47-year-old government school teacher R Nivedha by ramming his car on a bike on which she was riding pillion at Anna Nagar.
