In a shocking incident in Tamil Nadu's Thiruvarur district, Ayyappan, a 32-year-old engineering graduate, has been arrested for the alleged murder of his grandparents, Pichamuthu (80) and Chandra (75). The tragic event unfolded in their home in Karakottai village, where Ayyappan reportedly attacked the elderly couple with an iron rod while they were sleeping. After the attack, he poured fuel on their bodies and set them ablaze. Neighbors discovered the horrific scene shortly after the incident, but both victims had already succumbed to severe burn injuries. Police suspect that Ayyappan's long-standing battle with depression, stemming from his unemployment, may have played a role in the crime. Additionally, there are indications of a property dispute between Ayyappan and his grandparents, which could have further motivated his actions. Following a complaint lodged by Ayyappan's mother, authorities swiftly apprehended him.
