Coimbatore: The decomposed body of a construction worker found near Sulur. Shanmugam (age 65) is a construction worker from Peedampalli, Sulur, Coimbatore.
His wife is Pappathi (60) and their daughter is pregnant. Pappathi went to their daughter's house in Puliyakulam area to look after her as she was pregnant. Shanmugam went to their daughter's house in Puliyakulam last Sunday. There he asked his wife for money to drink. But as she refused to give him money, Shanmugam got angry and went back to his house.
Yesterday, Rajeswari, who lives near Pappathi's house, called her and told that there was a stench in the house. Immediately Pappathi phoned Shanmugam and as he did not pick up, Pappathi got suspicious and immediately returned home. When she went in she was shocked to see Shanmugam's corpse hanging in a rotten state and started crying.
Sulur police were informed and they rushed to the scene and recovered the body and sent it for autopsy. Following this, the Sulur police have registered a case under Section 174 and are conducting an investigation.
