Racket manufacturing fake medicines busted, factory owner held
Chennai: In a shocking incident, a 34-year-old homoeopathy doctor has been arrested for allegedly murdering his girlfriend and hiding the bodies of both her and her father for three months. To prevent decomposition, the doctor used some chemicals on the bodies and kept the air conditioner running before fleeing the scene.
A homeopathy doctor who absconded following the death of his girlfriend in his rented flat here nearly three months ago, was arrested allegedly for causing her death and attempting to cover up the incident by spraying chemicals on her body, police said on Friday.
According to the PTI report, police said the 34-year-old doctor identified as Samuel Ebenezer Sampath had pushed his girlfriend Cynthia, 37, who was living with him, following a quarrel with her over the treatment given to her father, Samuel Shankar, 78, from Vellore district.
She fell down sustaining injuries to her head and succumbed later. Getting panicky, Ebenezer sprayed some chemicals to prevent the body from getting decomposed, turned on the air conditioner and fled.
