Chennai, March 4: A domestic fight between a man and his wife ended in tragedy at Manali New Town on Friday when he threw a grinding stone at the woman, killing her. He later committed suicide.
Police said Ramamurthy, a car driver, was married to Bhuvaneswari, 32, and the couple had two sons Saju, 9, and Kishore, 3. Ramamurthy had taken a loan of Rs 40,000 to buy a car. He attached it to a travel agency and drove it himself, but incurred huge losses. A few days ago, Ramamurthy sold the car and squandered the money. He started getting tense when creditors showed up at his doorstep, police said.
On Friday night, the couple had a quarrel over the issue when their sons were at a relative's house. In a fit of anger, Ramamurthy threw a grinding stone on her head. Upset over what he had done, Ramamurthy hung himself from the ceiling fan, police said. Neighbours, who knew that Ramamurthy had financial troubles, were worried when there was no response to calls. A few of them opened the window to find Bhuvaneswari in a pool of blood and Ramamurthy hanging from the ceiling.
