In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, a 48-year-old woodcutter named Kolanji allegedly killed his wife, Lakshmi, and her lover, Thangarasu, in Kallakurichi district, Tamil Nadu, on Tuesday night. The police reported that Kolanji, who suspected his wife of infidelity, returned home after pretending to be away and discovered the two together on the terrace.
In a fit of rage, Kolanji attacked them with a sickle, resulting in their deaths. Disturbingly, he severed their heads and tied them to his two-wheeler before riding to Vellore Central Jail to surrender. The Vanjaram police later recovered the headless bodies from the couple’s home, where they were found lying in a pool of blood, prompting a gathering of concerned villagers.
The couple’s three daughters are now in the care of relatives as Kolanji remains in judicial custody. This incident follows another shocking case in June, where a man named Shankar was arrested near Bengaluru for killing his wife and surrendering to the police with her severed head. Shankar’s case also involved a crime of passion, stemming from jealousy and betrayal.
The community is left grappling with the aftermath of these violent acts, raising questions about domestic violence and the need for support systems for families in distress.
