A 26-year-old man murdered his 60-year-old father by slitting his throat near Sivadhapuram here on Sunday after the latter refused to give him his share of property.

The Kondalampatty police arrested Boopathy, son of P Seddu alias Palanisamy, of Andipatty Melkadu.

According to an investigation officer, Boopathy had married against the wishes of his father about six months ago. “He then moved to a different house in the village. An upset Palanisamy refused to share his property with his son,” the officer said.

Afarmer, Palanisamy was in possession of two acres land. On Saturday night, Boopathy came to his father’s house in an inebriated state and demanded his share of property. “When Palanisamy refused, Boopathy slit his father’s throat using a knife and then stabbed him indiscriminately,” the officer said.

Boopathy left the house on Sunday morning. When neighbours went to the house, they found Palanisamy in a pool of blood and alerted police, who sent the body to the Salem government hospital for postmortem.

During inquiry, Boopathy confessed to the crime. Police also recovered the knife that he used to murder his father. Boopathy was produced before a local court and lodged in the Salem Central Prison.
