Two more persons were arrested by the police on Friday in connection with the murder of a history-sheeter S. Muthukumar.
S. Muthukumar, 32, from Thidir Nagar in Ariyamangalam was murdered on April 30 along the Tiruchi-Thanjavur National Highway.
On May 1, five persons were arrested by Ariyamangalam police based on a complaint filed by Muthukumar’s mother Kayalvizhi.
On Friday, M. Mubarak, 32, surrendered before a judicial magistratre. Later, S. Prasad, 24, surrendered at the Ariyamangalam police station. The police transferred both to Pudukottai district prison.
Muthukumar’s murder is suspected to be a sequel to a feud between his father Sekar and his brother Periyasamy. Both Sekar and Periyasamy were murdered by rival groups.
