Overview
- Police say the 36-year-old victim, Haseena Beevi, was killed at the couple’s rented home in Nalanchira after an argument and that the FIR names her husband V. Suresh as the prime accused.
- Investigators found Suresh’s abandoned car at Balaramapuram station and believe he fled before a man matching his ID was found dead on a Chidambaram railway track on Thursday.
- Railway police recovered a mobile phone and an identity card at the scene and after relatives identified photographs they linked the body to the Nalanchira case.
- Authorities are treating the man's death as likely suicide but say a final finding will wait for post-mortems, forensic tests and formal cross-state legal procedures.
- The couple’s four children, aged about seven to 18, were at home during the attack and local officials are now managing their immediate care as the investigation continues.
