CUDDALORE: In yet another incident of honor killing, a 28 year-old-man hacked his sister to death on Tuesday night in Tamil Nadu's Cuddalore district for secretly marrying her boyfriend.
Police said Aspavathy, 26, a postgraduate, secretly married her boyfriend P Somu, 28, hailing from a nearby village four months ago without the consent of her family. Even though they belonged to the same community, her parents and brother had strongly objected to her decision to marry Somu.
Aspavathy on Tuesday night disclosed that she had married Somu. It led to a wordy duel between her and family members. Her brother K Ashok, an employee of a private company in Chennai, hacked her in a fit of rage. The woman sustained severe bleeding injuries in the head. She was admitted to Vridhachalam government general hospital and was later referred to Cuddalore government general hospital. However, she died on the way to the hospital.
Police registered a case against Ashok and arrested him on Wednesday morning.
