Coimbatore: An elderly couple were hacked to death by their 31-year-old son at Vellimalaipattinam on the outskirts of the city in the early hours of Saturday after they refused to provide him money to buy liquor. The Alandurai police have arrested the murderer.
A police officer identified the deceased as 75-year-old P Sundaram and his 70-year-old wife S Thulasi, of Indira Colony at Vellimalaipattinam near Viraliyur. They are survived by four daughters, who have been married off and settled in various parts of the district, and a son. According to the officer, the couple made a living by grazing goats.
He said their son Karthikeyan was an alcoholic and used to fight with his wife often. “Unable to bear his torture, she had left him a few months ago and moved to her parents’ house at Kaliyapuram village near Madukkarai. A daily wage labourer, he also stopped going for work properly,” the officer said.
Karthikeyan, the officer said, then started to fight with his elderly parents and assault them in drunken state. At one stage, his parents lodged a complaint against Karthikeyan and police warned him severely. “On Thursday (Feb 6) night, he consumed alcohol and assaulted his parents. They again lodged a police complaint against their son. Police picked him up for questioning and he was let off later,” the officer said.
On Friday night, Karthikeyan consumed liquor and fought with his parents, before going to bed. On Saturday around 2am, he hacked his parents, who were asleep, to death with a sickle and left the house.
As the couple didn’t come out of the house in the morning, neighbours went to their house and found them lay dead in a pool of blood. They alerted the Alandurai police, who sent the bodies to the Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital for postmortem. They also registered a case against Karthikeyan under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code and formed a special team, which arrested him near Narasipuram. Further investigation is on.
