Broken Window Reveals Chennai Murder Plot

A suspicious death in Perumbedu, Chennai, initially believed to be an accidental fall, has been reclassified as murder. The victim, M Kousalya, a BEd student, was allegedly killed by her husband, D Rajesh, an interior designer, and his lover, M Deepika.

Police reported that Rajesh smothered Kousalya and staged the scene, including breaking a window to suggest forced entry or exit. He attempted to create an alibi by mingling with neighbors before raising the alarm. Kousalya was declared dead at Ponneri government hospital.

Her mother's notice of injuries prompted a police investigation. Inconsistencies at the scene, particularly the broken window, raised suspicion. Rajesh subsequently confessed to the murder and implicated Deepika, revealing their conspiracy to be together.
