Gowtham, a Thiruvanmiyur native, was hacked to death by three guys on June 11 at Southern Avenue Thiruvanmiyur, where they assaulted Gowtham with knives out of hatred and escaped. Gautham, who sustained serious injuries in the attack, died in the hospital. The victim’s brother, Ashwin Babu, filed a case against the three suspects at Thiruvanmiyur J-6 Police Station. Gautham was a lawyer by profession and practised at Saidapet court.
According to a police press release, “J-6 Police team led by Thiruvanmiyur Police Station inspector conducted a comprehensive investigation and identified Kamlesh from Kannagi Nagar, Nithyanandam from Kotivakkam, and Parthiban from Kannagi Nagar as the perpetrators and detained them. They were taken into custody with two knives and one motorbike.
Investigations have revealed that Kamalesh assaulted Gowtham’s friend last year, following which the latter had threatened Kamalesh. This prompted Kamalesh to collaborate with his friends and murder Gowtham.
On June 12, the three defendants were brought before the court.
