COIMBATORE: A 60-year-old man murdered his wife and hanged himself at his residence near Ichipatti in Karumathampatti on the outskirts of the city on Friday night.
Police said M Masiannan and his wife M Kamalathal, 50, were residing at their house near Ichipatti. The couple owned a power-loom unit located near the house. Recently, their son M Kanthasamy, 32, passed away after a heart attack.
Masiannan wanted his wife Kamalathal to transfer the documents for their house in his name. But she refused to do so and the couple often fought.
On Friday evening, a quarrel arose during which Masiannan locked the house from inside and attacked his wife with a deadly weapon. She sustained injuries on her neck, head and became unconscious. Assuming that his wife was dead he covered her with some cloth and set her on fire. He then committed suicide by hanging.
Kamalathal was still alive and was rushed to CMCH on Friday night by neighbours where she died on Saturday morning, failing to respond to treatment.
Karumthampatti police registered a case under section 302 (murder) of IPC and 174 of CrPC. A detailed investigation is on.
