CHENNAI: A woman has been arrested in the case of killing her lover and burying the body. The dead is M Jeyanthan (29), ground staff for Thai Airways at Chennai International Airport. The arrested is his lover Bhagyalakshmi (38). The police have been investigating the missing complaint of Jayanthan since March.

Jeyanthan had told his sister on March 18 that he was going to their native place Villupuram. Based on the complaint filed by his sister, the investigation found that his last phone location was in Pudukottai. When Bhagyalakshmi was taken into custody and questioned after checking the call list, the information about the murder came out.

Bhagyalakshmi had borrowed a lot of money from Jeyanthan for various purposes. A dispute broke out between the two when Jeyanthan refused to pay money later.

She summoned Jeyanthan to Pudukottai to settle the issues but picked up an argument. She later with the help of a three-member gang murdered him. Then chopped the body into pieces and buried it in an isolated place and returned to Pudukottai. She hired a cab and transported 400 km with the remaining body parts and buried in the sands of Kovalam on the morning of March 26. The police will dig out the body parts and examine.
