Greedy engineer kills grandpa for property

An engineering graduate near Attur murdered his grandfather and injured his father with grievous weapons following a family feud on Thursday.
Prabu (25), son of Balasubramaniam, a farmer from Naduvalur in Gengavalli taluk, had resigned job as a lecturer in a Polytechnic near Attur some 10 days ago and went to Chennai seeking a better future. Two days ago, Prabu told his family about his plan to launch a real estate business. He wanted to make use of the ancestral land owned by his grandfather Sengoda Gounder (73) for the purpose.
But, Balasubramani and Sengoda Gounder strongly opposed the plan, which led to a heated altercation. On Thursday night, when the family members were sleeping, Prabu tried to attack his grandfather with a knife. Balasubramani, who woke up, stopped Prabu from attacking his grandfather, but in the process faced the wrath of his son. Prabu also inflicted severe injuries to a relative Anandan, who tried to pacify him. Gounder and Balasubramani were admitted to a private hospital in Salem. Gounder died later.
