On Monday evening, a 23-year-old history-sheeter was murdered in full view of several residents at the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board tenements in Gandhi Nagar, ICF.

ICF police said a gang of four, who had originally been his friends, had murdered him after a dispute broke out.

According to police, the victim Emmanuel (23), a resident of L Block, Gandhi Nagar had been involved in two murder cases, a few attempt-to-murder cases and a ganja possession case. Around 5.50 p.m. on Monday, Emmanuel was at home, when his friend Appu alias Thalapathi, came in and brought him outside the house.

“There were three others with Appu and the men took Emmanuel to the P block area, where they hacked him with knives on the head and body. They then smashed in his head with a grinding stone and causally strolled away, even as residents watched,” said a police officer.

Police said they were on the lookout for Appu and his accomplices Vellaiah (23), Pratap (22) and Murali (22), who also hail from Gandhi Nagar.
