The police had arrested the accused, Rajesh alias Rajendran (39), son of Daniel of Rajeev Nagar in Vellamandam Vembattoor in Thovala, Kanyakumari, on Friday.

The dead has been identified as Vinithamol (38) of Karipur Charuvilakonathu house in Nedumangad. The crime was committed to steal the woman’s gold necklace.
