HIV woman's murder: One detained, another surrenders

One man was detained in Kerala while another person surrendered before the judicial magistrate court in Dindidgul on Thursday in connection with the murder of the 42-year-old woman, whose body was found in an isolated place near Pollachi railway junction a few days back.

The district superintendent of police R V Ramya Bharati had earlier formed three special teams led by deputy superintendent of police, Pollachi sub-division, T Charles, to crack the case.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the woman from Dindigul district, Malathi, was last seen travelling along with three men in an auto rickshaw.

Police came to know that the woman had many affairs and had been taking treatment for HIV at a government hospital in Dindigul. Two of the special teams had left for Kerala on Wednesday and detained the suspect for interrogation on Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, another suspect in the case surrendered before the judicial magistrate court in Dindidgul and he was later remanded to judicial custody.

Investigating officials said they would soon file a petition before the court for the police custody of the suspect surrendered in Dindidgul for interrogation. One more person in connection with the case is still on the run.

On Tuesday, the woman was found murdered near Pollachi railway junction with her throat slit. Upon receiving information about it, the Pollachi police visited the crime scene from where they recovered a travel bag, containing medical receipt.

Police said the motive of the murder would be known only after the interrogation. The woman was in the city to visit one of his sons, who resides at Palladam.
