A 15-year-old boy in Punjai Puliyampatti in Sathyamangalam taluk killed his mother after she insisted on admitting him in the school hostel over his poor performance in quarterly examinations.
Arunselvan, 42, a contractor, was married to Yuvarani, 36, who works at the electricity board, and they have a son and a 12-year-old daughter. The boy was studying Class IX at a private school in Sathyamangalam and was staying in the hostel while the girl was studying Class VI at a private school in Puliyampatti. Recently, the boy refused to stay in the hostel and returned home and was a day scholar.
His poor performance in the examination angered Yuvarani who said that she will readmit him in the hostel. This angered the boy who had a quarrel with his mother on Wednesday. Arulsevan was away at work and the three slept in the house.
Police said at 12 a.m. the boy attacked her with a flower vase and a hollow block in which she suffered head injuries. The girl found her mother in a pool of blood and raised an alarm and the boy fled the house. Neighbours took her to the Government Hospital at Sathyamangalam where doctors declared her dead.
Punjai Puliyampatti police inspected the spot and fingerprint experts and a dog was pressed into service. The boy was later nabbed by the police and taken to the station. An inquiry is on.
