CUDDALORE:
P. Mariappan (40), a fisherman from Thevanampattinam, was murdered in broad daylight by a six-member gang near the Manjakuppam clock tower, a busy commercial area located on Cuddalore-Puducherry road, on Saturday.
According to sources, Mariappan was going from Puducherry to Cuddalore on a motorcycle. The gang which followed him on three two-wheelers, waylaid him near the clock tower, attacked him with sharp weapons and fled the scene. Mariappan, who was battling for life, was taken to the Government Headquarters Hospital and after first aid, referred to a Puducherry hospital. However, he died on the way to the hospital.
Police sources said that Mariappan was involved in several crimes. The attack could have been an attempt to settle scores between two rival groups. A search was on to trace the culprits, police said.
