Life convict on parole dies
A life convict, who had been enlarged on parole, died on Thursday. Police said former village assistant Sankaranarayanan, 68, of Mangalakudiyiruppu under Thatchanallur police station, was awarded life imprisonment in a honour killing case. As he suspected that a woman had helped his son for marrying a railway worker despite his opposition, Sankaranarayanan murdered the pregnant lady. After a court here awarded him death sentence, it was commuted to life imprisonment by the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court. Sankaranarayanan, who was out on parole, had to return to Palayamkottai Central Prison on July 20. But, he was found near the railway track close to Balaji Avenue in Thatchanallur on July 19 evening with serious injuries and admitted to the Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital for treatment, where he died on Thursday. Police suspect that Sankaranarayanan might have ended life by jumping in front of moving train.

The woman who attempted to end her life on the District Collector premises at Dindigul on Tuesday and was later admitted to Government Rajaji Hospital with severe burn injuries died at the hospital while undergoing treatment on Thursday evening. As doctors said that she had suffered severe burn injuries and her condition was critical, she succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. Following the incident on Tuesday, Natham police arrested seven persons on the following day under charges of abetting a woman to end her life. According to police, a revenue official recorded the statement of the woman, and added that preliminary inquiries revealed that the woman worked as an agent for a private finance firm - PACL - in the district, which had promised higher rates as return. Believing it, many gullible people had invested their savings through Pachaiammal. As many people asked for the money back, she was caught in a fix since the firm had shut operations a few years ago. Unable to face the situation, she claimed to end her life, police added.
