Three murders within a span of 24 hours have left the city shocked. While three men chased and hacked to death a history-sheeter in front of a private college at Arumbakkam on Monday morning, a 70-year-old had his throat slit by a relative at Mogappair on Sunday night and the same night an autorickshaw driver died after being beaten on the chest in Avadi.
Around 11.20am on Monday, Kumerasan, 37, and seven others, who had gone to a Poonamallee court for a murder case trial, were returning when they stopped at a hotel in Arumbakkam around 11.20am for breakfast. Soon, three men entered with sickles.
Sensing danger, Kumerasan ran out of the hotel, but the assailants chased and cornered him before setting upon him with weapons 50 metres from the college. A clip from a CCTV camera at the spot showed Kumerasan running and the three armed men attacking him.
After the assailants fled, a few people in the area alerted police. A team arrived and sent the body to a government hospital for autopsy. Police said Kumerasan had two murder cases registered against him at Chetpet and Choolaimedu. “We have traced the suspects and hope to nab them soon,” said a police officer.
At Mogappair, after a man named Yesurajan was found murdered at his residence in Collector Nagar, police conducted inquiries and arrested Yesurajan’s wife Kala, daughter Jennifer, son-in-law Francis and have launched a hunt for Gopal, a relative.
Over the past year, police found, Yesurajan had confined himself to his room and had not been talking to his wife. He was being fed by his daughter-in-law Ruby, who lived in the same locality.
Kala and Jeniffer suspected Yesurajan might transfer his property to his son and daughter-in-law, police said. On Sunday night, Gopal met Yesurajan and urged him to transfer the property in the names of his wife and daughter. An argument ensued, Gopal slashed the elderly man’s throat with a knife and fled. At 11pm, the others in the family returned home, found Yesurajan slain and called police.
In the third incident, autorickshaw driver Arumugam, 45, was talking with Devaraj, a relative, in front of his house at Mandhava Mettur near Avadi, over fixing a motor pump when Devaraj hit him on the chest and fled.
