A 19 year old girl from Tiruvallur killed a 26 year old man who reportedly tried to rape her at knifepoint on Saturday.
According to a report by The Hindu, the girl hailing from Tiruvallur had come to see her aunt in Sholavaram. She had gone to the toilet near the horse farm adjacent to the house in the evening when a man identified as ‘Killi’ Ajith in an inebriated condition, intercepted and sexually harassed her.
He reportedly tried to rape the girl at knifepoint. The girl in an act of self-defence overpowered the man and pushed him away snatching his knife. She then stabbed ‘Killi’ Ajith multiple times on the neck and face who died on the spot.
A case has been registered at the Sholavaram police station. Further investigations are on with the police on the lookout for any eye-witnesses.
