Another Murder Case Emerges

The suburb of Vadaperumpakkam, near Redhills, witnessed another grim incident on the same Sunday night. The lifeless body of a young man was discovered near a private firm. His identity remained unknown at the time, prompting the police to launch a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind this mysterious killing.

Similarly, in Aariya Perumbakkam village near Kancheepuram, another murder case came to light. Surya, a 26-year-old van driver, was found dead near a lake bund. The motive behind the murder seemed to stem from ongoing disputes between Surya and his neighbor. Karthik, the neighbor, lured Surya to the lake bund under the pretense of treating him. Tragically, after consuming alcohol, Karthik mercilessly murdered Surya and subsequently surrendered himself to the Baluchetty Chatram Police.
