Kulasekarapattinam police have arrested a woman and her mother in connection with the murder of her husband, an alcoholic. Police said Arunachalam, 45, of Kulasekarapattinam was working as a ‘parotta’ master in an eatery in Kayalpattinam. Suddenly, Petchiammal snatched the rod from him and retaliated, in which Arunachalam reportedly swooned. She summoned her mother Vadivu to her house and the two women reportedly strangulated Arunachalam to death with a piece of cloth. Arunachalam’s elder brother Raja informed Kulasekarapattinam police of the incident, following which they detained Petchiammal and Vadivu.
