A 21-year-old software engineer was stabbed to death in busy Parry’s Corner on Tuesday by her ex-boyfriend after she and her family reportedly decided not to proceed with the marriage plans.
After killing her, the youth committed suicide by stabbing himself.
The deceased were identified as Karthika and Rajarathinam, 27, of Manickam Nagar, Thiruvotriyur.
Karthika, the only child of bakery shop-owner Senthamizh Selvan, fell in love with Rajarathinam, a native of Kanyakumari and ITI diploma-holder, of the same neighbourhood and working in a two-wheeler service centre.
Karthika worked in a software firm in Rajiv Gandhi Salai after completing B.Sc. computer science.
Trouble began when Karthika’s family called off the marriage on her suggestion.
On Tuesday morning, Rajarathinam reached Parry’s Corner to meet Karthika.
At the bus stop, after a heated argument, he stabbed her.
“The girl suffered stab injuries on her neck, chest and stomach. She died on the spot. The youth stabbed himself after the incident. He died in the hospital,” the police said.
