Trichy, May 28: An 18-year-old boy was stabbed to death by his father who was under the influence of alcohol, after a petty quarrel with the boy's mother, on Saturday night in Edamalaipatti Pudur, Trichy. The police arrested and remanded the father to judicial custody on Sunday.
S Muralitharan, a resident of Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, works as an office superintendent in the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Trichy and his wife M Geetha, works as a pharmacist in the ESI hospital in Trichy. The couple had two children M Vinith (18), a first year engineering student and M Vishal, studying in the eighth standard.
On Saturday night, Muralitharan returned home in an inebriated state as usual and picked a quarrel with his wife over a trivial issue. However, the older son Vinith, who was preparing for his exam, intervened and tried to solve the problem between his parents. But this incurred his father's anger and Muralitharan stabbed Vinith with a kitchen knife.
Muralitharan proceeded to dash Vinith against a wall and the boy collapsed in a pool of blood in the presence of his mother Geetha. Based on the information, the 108 ambulance rushed to the spot but declared him dead. The E Pudhur police have arrested Muralitharan and sent him to the Trichy central prison. The son's body has been sent for post-mortem.
