Alcoholic, 38, hangs self

Coimbatore: A 38-year-old Edayarpalayam resident, who escaped from a de-addiction centre on Sunday night, was found hanging in a graveyard on Monday morning.
Police identified him as Pradeepkumar of JJ Nagar at Edayarpalayam. “His wife had admitted him to the de-addiction centre at Kovilpalayam a few days ago as he used to fight with her and their two children under the influence of alcohol. He escaped from there on Sunday night, had liquor and reached his home to fight with his wife. The woman informed the Thudiyalur police. A police team reached the house and brokered peace between the couple. The officers also advised the couple to visit the police station on Monday morning,” a police officer told TOI.
But when Pradeepkumar again fought with her, the woman was forced to contact police again. “Before police arrived, he went out of the house and hanged himself,” the officer said. tnn
