The Pallavaram police arrested five persons, including two women, for murdering a youth in Thirusulam on Thursday.
The police said A. Selvakumar, of Amman Nagar in Thirusulam, was in a relationship with two women — Reena and her friend Rajeetha. As Selvakumar regularly harassed both women, they hatched a plan to murder him. They invited him to a party at their house in Pallavaram on Wednesday. There, a gang of five assaulted him with knives and escaped.
He died at the the Rajiv Gandhi government hospital on Thursday night. The police arrested the two women and three others. A search is on for the remaining two accused.
