Chokkampatti police have arrested a 63-year-old man, along with his wife and son, for allegedly murdering his elder brother.
Police said Ramasubbiah (67) of Mela Thiruvettanallur near Kadayanallur in the district had a dispute with his brother Ramar (63) over using the common well for irrigating their adjacent farms. When a quarrel erupted between them on Wednesday night, Ramar, his wife Thirumalai (52) and son R. Kottursamy (31) attacked Ramasubbiah with a club, in which he sustained grievous injuries.
After being admitted to Government Hospital at Kadayanallur, Ramasubbiah was brought to Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
