Police on Wednesday arrested a 35-year-old man for the murder of a drunk man at Retteri in May by cutting his genitals after a gay sex encounter and for attempting to murder another drunk man in Madhavaram on June 1.

While the arrested K Muniyasamy has been sent to jail, the deceased was identified as Aslam Basha and the injured as Narayana Perumal.

Additional commissioner of police (north) R Dhinakaran said they got the breakthrough on Tuesday after CCTV camera footage of a man at the site of the two incidents was flashed on television channels. Soon, a trader at the Villivakkam fish market called inspector P Jawahar and said a man resembling the suspect was his employee and a police team nabbed him. Muniyasamy admitted to the crimes, saying he committed them under the influence of alcohol, an officer said.

Police quoting the trader said Muniyasamy, a resident of Manamadurai, began working for him on May 19 and stayed in the vicinity. The trader told police that Muniyasamy hadn’t stayed back at the fish market on the nights when the two crimes occurred and that he had sacked him as he rarely worked and roamed the city at night.

On May 25, Basha was found lying unconscious at Retteri with his genitals slashed and was admitted to the Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital. He told police he was drunk and depressed and so was not sure if someone had slashed his injuries or he if injured them himself. After his death last week, police registered a case under CrPC Section 174 (suspicious death).

On June 1, after Narayana Perumal suffered a similar injury to his private parts, police suspected there might be a link and asked him if he had been involved in gay sex with anyone. Perumal said it was true. Madhavaram inspector P Jawahar scanning CCTV camera footage found Muniyasamy had attacked Perumal and confirmed he was also at the spot near Retteri when Basha was attacked on the night of May 25.

Muniyasamy told police he often cruised the streets at night, particularly near Tasmac outlets and the banks of the Retteri lake looking for lonely men he could lure for gay sex. The school dropout told police he took to gay sex with some of his friends while still in school. Investigators are now checking to see if he had attacked others the way he attacked Basha and Perumal.
