Tiruppur City Police on Thursday arrested three persons, including a mother and a son, on the charges of murdering a man, whose charred body was found in a stone quarry near Veerapandi. The police said that Arokiadass (21), his mother Murugeswari (46) and his friend Balasubramanian (21) from Thiruvalluvar Nagar allegedly hatched a conspiracy to murder Santhosh Kumar (36). The deceased and the woman were working together in a garment company and were allegedly in a relationship. On July 17, the two youth allegedly attacked Santhosh Kumar with an iron rod, dragged him to the quarry in Kallangadu and set him ablaze. Following a complaint on Wednesday from the deceased’s wife that her husband was missing, the Veerapandi police began investigating, during which the two youth confessed about the murder, according to the police. The three accused were remanded in judicial custody.
