Infuriated by a woman’s refusal to marry him, a 27-year-old man stabbed his former girlfriend to death in full view of the public at the Broadway bus terminus here on Tuesday.
He then committed suicide by stabbing himself.
The incident took place around 8.30 a.m. when the victim S. Karthika (22) of Manickam Nagar in Tiruvottiyur got down from an MTC bus at the terminus. Raja alias Rajarathinam, who was in a relationship with Karthika, followed her in the bus and tried to talk to her.
“When she got off the vehicle, Raja stabbed her in the neck with a large knife he was carrying. As she lay bleeding, he stabbed himself in the stomach and collapsed nearby,” said Assistant Commissioner of Police (High Court) K. N. Murali.
