    Police said the deceased were identified as Mohan (55), his wife M Rajeswari (47) and their daughter Sukanya (23), and the injured was their son M Tamilarasan (25).  He was admitted to the government hospital at Tirupattur. Police said that Sukanya’s marriage was scheduled to take  place next month. Her face was disfigured as the murderers smashed her head with a boulder apart from cutting her throat. 

    The assailants have slit the throats of Mohan and Rajeswari.  The triple murder came to light, when one of the tenants of a shop owned by Mohan came to meet him in the morning. As there was no response from the inmates of the house, he opened the door and found them in the horrific state. Tamilarasan was rushed to the hospital and he has been undergoing treatment in the critical care unit. 

    Senior police officials from Vellore visited the house along with finger print experts and held inquiry. Police recovered a blood-stained penknife near the bodies. Police said, according to preliminary investigations, the murders must have taken place between 6 to 7 am this morning as Mohan returned home after night duty at the Karigampatti electrical sub-station. Whether the gruesome triple murder was a fall out of a property dispute or previous enmity, police were probing it from all angles. They said “a clear idea of the motive behind the murders would emerge only when we were able to get a statement from Tamilarasan, who was critically injured.”
