CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu police today arrested two men to facilitate investigations into the murder of a Malaysian woman and her two children in Madurai last Monday.
Initial police investigations have revealed that the suspects, aged 29 and 30, were known to the woman, M Adhila Banu's family and that the killings might be linked to a dispute involving family property.
"We arrested the two suspects, following details given by the victim's mother. We suspect it is property-related dispute which let to the kidnapping and murder (of the woman and her children).
"By tomorrow, we are sure of arresting the people behind (who masterminded) the killings," Vadipatti police inspector PR Lakshmanan told Bernama.
The decomposed bodies of Adhila, daughter Ajira Banu, five, and son Mohd Aslan, seven, were found in a swollen canal at Vadipatti in Madurai, Tamil Nadu on Thursday morning.
The bodies of the children were located about 5km from the mother's body.
The victims, believed to have been strangled, were bound separately in white dhotis.
Adhila's husband, identified only as Muthusamy alias Mohammad, an Indian national with a Malaysian permanent resident visa, is currently working in Malaysia as a driver.
The triple murders have prompted the Indian police to conduct a massive probe in nearby districts, where nearly 20 people, including the woman's neighbours, relations and associates were questioned over the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, Chennai-based Malaysian Consul-General Anuar Kasman told Bernama that he had sent Malaysian officers to Madurai to obtain more details on the killings.
"Our officers visited the woman's family today but they were not cooperative. It is a complicated case, it is beyond our jurisdiction, we leave it to the police," said Anuar.
