Chennai: Friend killed for using the toilet

Chennai: A quarrel among friends over using the lavatory led to the murder of a youth in Chennai on Friday night.

Police said Arun, 26, son of Muthukrishnan, who was a diploma holder, supplied drinking water cans in the neighbourhood in Teynampet area and stayed with his friend in that area.

Ganesh Kumar, another tenant in that house and a friend, was living in the same compound.

The two brothers who confessed to the crime, were arrested soon after the incident was reported.

On Wednesday, Arun had used the lavatory meant for Ganesh Kumar, which led to a verbal duel and developed into a slug-fest. The fight was, however, stopped with the intervention of the neighbours and other friends.
