However, the older son Vinith, who was preparing for his exam, intervened and tried to solve the problem between his parents. But this incurred his father's anger and Muralitharan stabbed Vinith with a kitchen knife.

Muralitharan proceeded to dash Vinith against a wall and the boy collapsed in a pool of blood in the presence of his mother Geetha. Based on the information, the 108 ambulance rushed to the spot but declared him dead. The E Pudhur police have arrested Muralitharan and sent him to the Trichy central prison.
