THANJAVUR: A man, who allegedly had an illicit affair with his neighbour's wife, was buried alive by her husband after he came to know about their relationship in a village near Peravurani in Thanjavur district. The body was exhumed after the murderer was arrested here on Wednesday, police said.
Police said that Nadimuthu (37) and Chandrasekar (41) were residents of Seruvavidhuthi in Thanjavur. Both of them had been friends for a long time. However, Chandrasekar developed an illicit relationship with Nadimuthu's wife, Ramya. On coming to know of their relationship, Nadimuthu warned his wife to stay away from Chandrasekar. But, despite his warning, they continued the affair. Nadimuthu then conspired with his friends to kill Chandrasekar to put an end to the problem. On Monday, he invited Chandrasekar for a liquor party in their area. Nadimuth and his friends forced him to drink a lot so that he loses his control. Once he lost control, Nadimuthu and the others assaulted him following which he fell down unconscious. They then shifted him to Agni river and buried him alive under the bridge. Chandrasekar died because of suffocation.
As Chandrasekar did not return home, his wife Gomathi searched for him. But some of the residents told her that he was accompanied by Nadimuthu and few others in the evening on Monday. When they inquired with Nadimuthu, he gave contradictory replies. So, they became suspicious of him and handed him over to the Thiruchittrambalam police on Wednesday evening.
Police said that he admitted to his crime during the initial investigation and guided the police to the spot where he and his friends buried Chandrasekar. The body was exhumed and sent for postmortem. Police are now on the lookout for his accomplices.Link: Man buried alive over affair with his friend's wife
