TIRUNELVELI: While the police are yet to make a breakthrough in the triple murder that rocked Tirunelveli on Tuesday, the three daughters of one of the murder victims are now forced to live without parental support. Mariammal, who worked as a housemaid, was killed along with former Tirunelveli mayor Uma Maheswari and the mayor’s husband. Mariammal’s death orphaned the children as their father had died of illness ten years ago.
Mariammal’s daughters, namely Veeralakshmi, Jothilakshmi and Rajeswari, are studying Class XI, X and IX respectively, here in a private school. As the breadwinner of her family, Mariammal raised her daughters by working as a housemaid in three houses, including the house of the former mayor.
Mariammal’s neighbours said she hardly earned Rs 8,000 a month and had always ran short of it to pay her children’s school fee. “Irrespective of her bad health condition, she sleeplessly worked hard for her children’s future,” a neighbour said. K Sankar, a neighbour of Mariammal said, “Though she was uneducated, she encouraged her daughters to take up civil services examination.”
He added that the district administration should take steps to get these children adequate compensation for running their life and pursuing their higher education. A professor, residing in the same street as Mariammal, said, “We planned to submit a petition to opposition leader MK Stalin on behalf of the children. However, Stalin returned to Chennai after paying tribute to the former mayor and her husband. We are disappointed over his ignorance towards the family.”
