Woman tramples live-in partner to death
CHENNAI: Police on Saturday claimed to have solved the July 2 murder of a real estate agent in Thirukazhukundram, 45km from Chennai, with the arrest of his live-in partner.
Serena, 32, trampled Suresh Kumar, 31, to death when he was asleep because he had objected to her friendship with a woman named Gowri, police said. Kumar was heavily drunk at the time. She then hung his body from the ceiling.
The next morning she alerted neighbours saying she had woken up to find Kumar hanging. Soon, police arrived on the scene and began investigations. Not convinced with Serena's answers, police registered a case of murder but initially suspected the hand of an outsider. "However, Serena remained on the list of suspects list as she was present in the house at the time," a police officer said.
It was thought that he had been strangled, but the injury on one side of the neck ruled out this possibility. The usual marks associated with it were absent, police said. But the symptoms present made it clear he was murdered.
Unable to make up their minds about the cause of death, police again turned their attention to Serena after rejecting the chances of an outsider having committing the crime. She was taken to the police station and questioned separately by a team of women personnel. She finally confessed to the killing.
Inquiries revealed that Suresh Kumar, a resident of Vallam near Chengalpet, had been living with Serena for the past couple of years. Serena, whose husband lived and worked abroad, resided at a house in Thirukazhukundram with her son and daughter. Trouble began between the couple when Suresh Kumar objected to Serena's friendship with Gowri and they often fought over the issue.
At night on July 1, a fresh altercation broke out over the subject before the couple went to sleep. Later, Serena woke up and trod on Kumar's neck with her foot, according to her confession statement. She later hung the body from the ceiling and went to sleep.
Serena has been remanded in judicial custody.
