A reported case of ‘suicide’ of a man has now turned out to be a cold-blooded murder by his own family members.

The man was attacked and killed by his own family, as he had been creating nuisance in a drunken state.

Now, a retired government official, his wife and two other sons, who murdered Mahesh, 28, and then hung his body to pass it off as suicide, have been arrested by police.

The issue came to light after doctors who performed autopsy confirmed that Mahesh should have died before he was hung from the ceiling.

Investigation officers then started probing the matter and questioned Mahesh’s family members about the incident. During interrogation, Mahesh’s brothers — Mohanavel, 31, and Ramesh, 26 —gave contradictory statements.

Intense interrogation thereafter brought out the circumstances under which Mahesh was murdered by his own family members.

Mahesh, worked at a private firm in Singapore had returned to Kancheepuram two months ago. He consumed liquor and started arguing with his parents and brothers. An investigation officer said: “Mahesh had lost his job because he was an alcoholic and returned to his home in Ayyampettai village at Kancheepuram. He used to come home drunk every day and create problems in the vicinity.” On Friday, Mahesh returned home around 10pm and picked up a fight. On learning about the incident, Mohanavel and Ramesh rushed home and tried to convince him. As Mahesh tried to hit his father with a wooden plank, his brothers snatched it from him and hit him and pushed him down.

Mahesh hit a stone on the ground and fainted. On realising that he had died, the family, in order to cover up the offence, hung his body inside the house and staged a suicide drama.

Wallajahbad police have arrested the vitcim’s father Mani, 62, mother Tamizh Selvi, 55, and brothers Mohanavel and Ramesh. They were produced before a magistrate court in Kancheepuram and remanded in judicial custody.
