Shocker / Liquor Dispute Spirals into Horror: What Really Happened Inside the Perungudi House

Perungudi (Tamil Nadu), Oct 7: A shocking incident has emerged from Tamil Nadu’s Perungudi area, where a domestic dispute over liquor escalated into a brutal crime.

Police have arrested 38‑year‑old Loganathan, accused of murdering his wife Sudha, 28, following a heated argument late Sunday night.

According to police, the couple, married for eight years and without children, were drinking together at home when Sudha asked her husband to fetch more liquor. Loganathan reportedly told her that the government‑run TASMAC outlets had already closed.

Sudha, however, insisted he procure alcohol from the black market. This disagreement quickly spiraled into a violent quarrel.

Preliminary investigation suggests Loganathan lost control during the fight. He allegedly attacked Sudha and then strangled her using her scarf. Police confirmed that Sudha died inside their home.

What has stunned investigators is Loganathan’s behaviour after the crime. Reports indicate that he slept in the same house following the incident.

The next morning, upon realizing his wife was dead, he locked the house and left. He was later seen wandering in Taramani before moving to Saidapet, where he confessed to a friend that he had killed his wife. The information reached police, who tracked him down and arrested him.

Thoraiyapakkam police recovered Sudha’s body from the house and sent it for post‑mortem examination. Forensic teams have collected evidence from the crime scene.

Authorities are now probing whether the murder was solely triggered by the liquor dispute or if deeper personal issues were involved.
