Elderly couple killed in Erode
Chennai: An elderly couple murdered and robbed 15 sovereigns of gold jewellery residing alone in a farmhouse at Sivagiri in Erode district of Tamil Nadu.
The murder came to light this morning after their daughter panicked over non response
to repeated calls, broke open the house with the help of police and found them in a pool
of blood in separate rooms.
Police shifted the bodies to government hospital for post mortem and have registered
a case of murder for gain.
The killings drew strong condemnation Opposition party leaders, including AIADMK General Secretary and Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly Edappadi K Palaniswami, BJP State President and Legislature Party Leader Nainar Nagendran, former State Chief K Annamalai and PMK Working President Dr Anbumani.
They alleged that the incident was an example of deteriorating law and order situation in the State and urged the ruling DMK to arrest the culprits immediately.
Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palanisamy criticised the Tamil Nadu Government, claiming that the 'law and order' has completely deteriorated. Referring to the five murders that have taken place since 2022, Edappadi K Palanisamy said the DMK Government should be ashamed of calling such murders as sporadic crimes.
Edappadi K Palaniswami said, 'I condemn the Stalin model DMK Govt which has put the people of Tamil Nadu in a state of fear, they are not able to sleep peacefully at night and are risking their lives. I urge the Chief Minister to take strict legal action against all the criminals involved in this murder and robbery and come out of the world of confusion and properly perform his primary duty of maintaining law and order.'
District SP Sujata said, 'Eight special teams have been formed under the leadership of ADSP, which are currently at the spot and are scanning the CCTV footage. We will take the investigation forward based on the clues. At present, 80 grams of gold jewellery is missing. We are looking for more clues.'
