A 36-year-old person working as a manager in a private bank murdered his wife and two kids and ended his life on Saturday night in Thoraipakkam police station limits.
A senior police official said D. Manikandan, a resident of Periyar Salai in Perungudi, was working as a manager in a private bank.
He had taken huge loans from his friends and could not repay them. This caused domestic problems. On Saturday, in a fit of anger, he allegedly hit his wife Thara, 35, with a cricket bat and murdered her. He also allegedly killed his two sons Tharan and Thahan and then ended his life.
