Chennai: Ennore Beach Dispute Over Woman Escalates to Fatal Stone Attack
A violent dispute over accompanying a woman believed to be a sex worker culminated in a brutal murder near Ennore in Chennai on Saturday night. The incident, which unfolded along the Ramakrishna Nagar beach shoreline, has led to the arrest of a 35-year-old car driver, while authorities continue efforts to identify the victim.
Sequence of Events Leading to the Tragedy
The accused, identified as Maheswaran, a resident of Burma Nagar in Ennore, was reportedly drinking with a friend at a Tasmac outlet before the fateful encounter. After leaving the outlet, the duo set off on a motorcycle, passing by the Ramakrishna Nagar beach area.
It was there that they noticed a man engaged in conversation with a woman by the shore. According to police reports, Maheswaran and his friend approached the woman, sparking immediate tension.
Heated Argument Turns Deadly
The man standing beside the woman strongly objected to their approach, leading to a heated argument. In a critical turn of events, Maheswaran sent his friend away with the woman, choosing to continue the confrontation alone with the other man.
The situation rapidly deteriorated when Maheswaran allegedly picked up a stone and struck the victim repeatedly on the back of the head. After the fatal assault, he fled the scene, leaving the victim lifeless on the beach.
Police Investigation and Arrest
Chennai police swiftly launched an investigation into the incident, leading to the arrest of Maheswaran in connection with the killing. The authorities are currently working to establish the identity of the deceased victim and gather further evidence related to the case.
This tragic incident highlights the volatile nature of disputes that can escalate into fatal violence, particularly in late-night scenarios involving alcohol consumption. The investigation continues as police piece together the complete sequence of events and motives behind the deadly confrontation.
