K ManjulaCHENNAI: A woman assistant engineer of the TNEB and four men she had hired to kill her lover surrendered in a city court on Monday, two days after they hacked E Nagaraj to death in a mobile store in Tiruvannamalai town.
Nagaraj, 28, who had an affair with the engineer, K Manjula, 36, was hiding in Tiruvannamalai, his native place, after coming out on bail in October after he was jailed for murdering her nine-year-old son in February.
Manjula had hired a gang to find and kill Nagaraj. They found him employed at a shop in Tiruvannamalai on Saturday and attacked him inside the shop. Nagaraj ran out of the shop and collapsed on the footpath outside. The gang hacked him to death at the spot.
Police said Manjula’s career and her life derailed after she had an affair with Nagaraj, who used to be a marketing manager with a private builder in Chennai. Her son had caught them together and told his father, S Karthikeyan, 38, an interior designer. After Karthikeyan warned him to stay away from Manjula, Nagaraj decided to do away with the boy. On February 28, Nagaraj picked him up from his tuition class at Nesapakkam on the pretext of getting his eyes tested. Nagaraj took the boy to an office in a residential complex in Selaiyur and clubbed him to death and slit his throat.
Police investigation led to Nagaraj and he was remanded in Puzhal prison on murder charges. He came out on bail in October and absconded.
The men Manjula had hired to kill Nagaraj were identified as Shyam Sundar of Arumbakkam, Santhosh Kumar and Saravanan, and a juvenile from Chennai. They appeared before the George Town VII Metropolitan Magistrate Basheer and said they were surrendering in connection with the murder of Nagaraj in Tiruvannamalai.
The magistrate sent the juvenile to the correctional home in Kellys and remanded Manjula and the others in Puzhal prison till January 4 and directed the police to produce the suspects before the Tiruvannamalai court on that date. Tiruvannamalai district superintendent of police Sibi Chakaravarthy said, “We are searching for one more suspect involved in the murder of Nagaraj.”
