SAVAGERY;MURDER AND MAYHEM........

Deep rooted suspicion or then ever the merest hint of the same can transform a seemingly sane human being into a murderous savage within the batting of an eyelid.......
 50 year old Ramachandran a lifelong resident of Erode (Tamil Nadu) district's Gurunathapuram village let his satanic persona get the better of his angelic persona on the fateful night of July 28;2016 as he ended up hacking his 46 year old wife of 25 odd years standing to a gruesome death that she certainly did not deserve.........
 A tearful and disconsolate 22 year old Malathy haltingly reveals the fact that her particularly incensed and irate father used to constantly bicker and squabble with her mother Palaniammal as he suspected her fidelity and often accused her of having developed a clandestine sexual relationship with a fellow resident of the same village.........
Matters however came to a head on that fateful and sordid night as the accused firstly slapped the deceased around after a renewed bout of hostilities and left the family's nondescript dwelling in a huff in an attempt to try and regain control of his senses.......
 He however returned at around 11 pm or so a good 30 minutes after their only son Gurusamy had stepped outside the house in order to meet up with his friends and began berating his much chastened wife and showering her with the choicest abuses and epithets.........
 An equally frenzied and frazzled Palaniammal matched her husband abuse for abuse and this doughty behaviour incensed him so much that he picked up a sickle lying nearby and proceeded to hack his hapless and defenceless wife on her neck and chest region at least a dozen times if not more........
 A shocked; bewildered; alarmed and disbelieving Malathy rushed out of the hutment screaming for help at the top of her voice and rushed to her motionless mother's aid in the company of fellow villagers who had made a beeline towards the crime scene as soon as they heard the young woman's hideous screams for help......
Taking advantage of the prevailing mayhem and utter confusion Ramachandran made good his escape from the scene even as his daughter and fellow villagers rushed his grievously injured spouse to the nearby primary health centre where the doctor on duty at the time pronounced her brought dead on arrival........
 Local police sleuths who were summoned to the hospital or then should I say government run medical facility by the on duty doctor sent the mortal remains of the victim to the district hospital for the mandatory post mortem; registered a case of murder against the accused and subsequently launched a massive manhunt in order to apprehend the fugitive at the earliest........
 Like I mentioned earlier deep rooted suspicion or then even the merest hint of it can turn the best of us into primeval savages who need to be put down for eternity at the earliest........
