A man immolated himself and his partner, who was sleeping on one of bays in CMBT, Koyambedu, in the early hours of Saturday. The police said the victims were platform dwellers. The police identified the victim as Muthu, 48, who was a labourer in Vadapalani, and the woman as Shanthi, 46, a conservancy worker in Koyambedu. They had been in a relationship for a few months, the police said. Muthu was angry since she was seeing another man. At 1.30 a.m, Muthu came to the platform near the fourth bay, where Shanthi was sleeping, and set them both on fire. Passengers and shopkeepers put out the flames and alerted the police.More Related News
