Moolakothalam Tragedy: Man Allegedly Stabs Wife to Death Over Argument

In a heartbreaking incident that has shocked the residents of Moolakothalam near Washermenpet, a 55-year-old man has been accused of fatally stabbing his wife following a heated argument in their home. The suspect, identified as Selvam, reportedly attempted to take his own life after the incident and is currently receiving medical treatment at a government hospital.

Details of the Incident

Selvam, a private company employee, resided in Moolakothalam with his wife Padmini (52). The couple’s son and daughter also lived in the same neighbourhood, along with their respective families. The tragic events unfolded when Selvam expressed his desire to start his own business, a decision that was met with opposition from his wife due to financial concerns.

According to police reports, frequent arguments between the couple culminated in a violent altercation on Sunday, during which Selvam allegedly used a knife to attack Padmini. The commotion attracted the attention of neighbours, who intervened and rushed both individuals to a nearby government hospital for emergency medical care.
