Chennai: Boyfriend Strangles Girlfriend, Dies by Suicide

A young woman and her boyfriend were found dead in their rented Chennai home.

The police believe the boyfriend strangled the woman and then took his own life.

The couple, college students, had moved to Chennai from Villupuram, telling their families they were seeking part-time jobs.

They had been staying together.

The families were unaware of the cohabitation.

Preliminary investigations suggest a disagreement about the woman attending her brother's engagement may have led to the tragic events.

Police have registered a murder case.
