Man kills wife in front of her students in Tamil Nadu school

Police said that G Rathidevi (35), a mother to twins, was living with her parents for the last few months following disagreements with her husband Guru Muneeswaran (37), an engineer who works in Chennai. “He came to the school around 3.30 pm to meet Rathidevi. Soon after he reached the classroom, both of them engaged in an argument and he stabbed her. He was carrying a knife,” a police officer said.

Muneeswaran has been arrested and Rathidevi’s body has been handed over to her relatives after post-mortem.

According to the police, a dispute over their place of work had led to problems in the family.

The office of the Deputy Educational Officer at Thirumangalam said they have announced a holiday for the school. “Some 30 students of Class 8 who witnessed the murder and few other teachers and students may be given counselling to recover from the trauma,” an officer said.
