KANNUR: A youth was hacked to death at Payyavoor in Kannur. The dead is Nidheesh Babu (31) of Kanjirakolli. His wife Shruthi also sustained injuries in the attack. Nidheesh was a blacksmith. Two bike borne people barged into his house and then attacked him at his forge.

The assailants have not been identified. Payyavoor police reached the spot and started an investigation. Initial reports said a financial dispute led to the murder. The assailants, who reached his smithy at 12.30 pm had a verbal dispute with him and then in a fit of rage, took a big knife from there and hacked him. When Shruthi tried to prevent them from hacking her husband, she also sustained injuries. She has been admitted to the hospital. Her injuries are not serious.

Shruthi has identified the attackers. Things will become clear only after her statement is recorded. The body of Nidheesh will be taken to Pariyaram Medical College after completing the inquest proceedings.
