The Kuruvikulam police have picked up three persons including a couple for allegedly murdering a youth. Police said K. Lakshmanadurai, 38, a widower and father of a child from Malaippatti near Kuruvikulam in the district, who was working as a driver in a textile mill in Rajapalayam, had developed illicit affair with A. Deivanai, 45, a widow and mother of two children from Kulasekaramangalam near Sernthamaram, who was also working in the same mill. When Lakshmanadurai eloped with Deivanai a few days ago, her brother Desingu Raja, 35, filed a complaint with Sernthamaram police. Even as the police were investigating the case, Desingu Raja found that his elder sister had eloped with Lakshmanadurai and were living in Kulasekaramangalam.
