INDIA: MAN GETS DEATH SENTENCE FOR BEHEADING MOM

October 12, 2021:

A court in Pudukottai, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, on 1st October 2021  sentenced a man to death for beheading his mother over a family dispute.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on the convict, identified as T Anand, 26, of Maravanpatti who murdered his mother T Thilagarani, 45, in 2018. In case of failing to pay the fine, the convict should undergo two years of jail term.
Anand beheaded his mother on 18 March 2018 when she was waiting at Malaiyur bus stop to go to Pudukottai. The Malaiyur police arrested Anand.
Thilagarani’s mother A Lakshmi was the complainant in the case. Thilagarani was the only daughter to Lakshmi. She was married to Thangarasu and the couple had five sons. Anand was her first son.
In 2007, Thilagarani murdered Thangarasu by throwing a stone on his head over a family dispute. The Karambakudi police investigated the case and a court acquitted Thilagarani in the case.
After acquittal, she stayed and fifth son stayed together while the rest of the sons refused to live with her. They were under the custody of their paternal grandfather in Maravanpatti.
Anand used to quarrel with Thilagarani over a property issue. Anand had threatened his mother with dire consequences for killing his father and over property issues.
Sub-inspector of police R Selvaraj of the Malaiyur police said the motive of the murder was the killing of Thangarasu and the disputes over properties. Anand who was on bail, was arrested after the judgment was pronounced.
