She started living with Jeyakumar after being separated from her husband Muniyasamy. When Jeyakumar started doubting her fidelity, there were frequent quarells between them. So, Subbammal reportedly prevented him from coming to her house.
Enraged over this act, Jeyakumar, along with his friend Ganeshan, hacked her to death on April 29, 2014. The Pudukottai police investigated the case and arrested the accused.
