History-sheeter, sales executive murdered in separate incidents

According to sources, Siva, who had three cases of murder and attempt to murder, had been leading a normal life of late. He was running a bottled water agency in Thukkamapalayatheru. 

Siva was waylaid and hacked to death near Auto Nagar on Thursday morning by a group of people who arrived on bikes. Siva was on his way to deliver water cans in a locality on the Chennai road in Kumbakonam. A grievously injured Sivanandam died on the spot and the killers fled away from the spot.

Siva had reached the spot on his moped loaded with water cans. 

J Mahesh, Superintendent of Police, Thanjavur district, and Ganesamurthy, the DSP of Kumbakonam town, visited the scene of crime and held inquiries. The body of Siva, who still figures in the list of history sheeters of Kumbakonam east police station, was sent to Kumbakonam Government hospital for postmortem.

Ramesh was found dead in a pool of blood with cut injuries on his hand and neck. He had been working as a sales executive of an electrical goods agency located at the Arulanandammal Nagar in Thanjavur for the last seven years. His body was found in his room on the first floor of the shop. 

His body was found on Thursday when his colleagues went to open the office. Following the blood stains found on the stairs, they discovered Ramesh’s body. Police inquiries revealed Ramesh used to collect money amounting to a couple of lakhs. As the cash bag used by Ramesh was found missing, the police suspect the murder might have been for gain.
