A youngster who was under treatment for the past 10 days after being beaten up by a gang at Attappady died at Government Medical College Hospital, Thrissur, on Monday.
Vinayakan, 22, son of Vijayan from Kannur, was brutally beaten up by the gang following a dispute over a gun deal on June 30. He died on Monday afternoon. His partner Nanda Kishore, 22, from Kodungalloor, had died on July 1 following the torture.
The police arrested 10 persons in connection with the incident. The police said it was a dispute over a gun deal that led to the murders.
Nanda Kishore and Vinayakan had reportedly collected ₹1 lakh from the accused offering them a gun that could be used without licence. However, they could not deliver the gun in time. They also could not return the cash when demanded.
