Chennai: For the first time since the murder of Infosys employee Swathi in Chennai, an eyewitness has recounted what happened days before she was brutally attacked at the Nungambakkam railway station.
D Tamilarasan, a teacher who lives in the same locality as Swathi, said a man had slapped her five times at the Nungambakkam railway station. “He is not the same man that is seen in the CCTV footage. On the day of the brutal attack, I was a little away from the crime site," he said.
He said that he only managed to get a glimpse of the killer and by the time he went to the crime site, she was dead. Tamilarasan, said he was shocked by the incident and boarded the next train.
He refrained from sharing any more details and added that he is a bit scared to talk.
Swathi was hacked to death by an unknown man in public view on the platform of Nungambakkam railway station on June 24.
The incident has led to huge public outrage across Chennai. Even after a week, the police have not been able to trace the killer. They have released his sketch and several special teams on the hunt for him.
The absence of CCTV cameras at Nungambakkam railway station platforms has complicated the matter further. With a very little lead on hands, police are still groping in the dark.
