CHENNAI: A 33-year-old man was arrested, along with his friend, on Thursday for killing his mother at her home in Tiruvallur because he wanted his wife and their child to return home, police said. The man, Babu, and his friend Karthikeyan are now cooling their heels in prison.
Vasanthi, 55, who used to sell fruits close to theAvadi railway station, went to sleep after dinner on Tuesday night. The next morning, her husband Chandran (56) found her lying next to him in a pool of blood and alerted Babu, who stayed in the same area.
A case was registered. "The possibility of a murder for gain was ruled out as nothing was lost and there was no forced entry. We initially suspected Chandran's hand," a Tiruvallur special branch officer said.
Inquires revealed that all was not well between Vasanthi and Babu's wife Vijayalakshmi and that the young couple had moved to another house in the area. Vasanthi continued to fight with her daughter-in-law and Vijayalakshmi decided to return to her parents' house in Avadi. A few days ago, Babu asked her to return but she said it would not be possible as long as his mother was there, a police officer said.
Babu then plotted his mother's murder with Karthikeyan, the officer added. With Karthikeyan's help, he slit her throat while his parents were asleep.
Police checking his mobile phone found he had spoken to Karthikeyan about the plan and questioned him. He confessed to killing his mother so that his wife and the new born child can return to him.
