He was living with Pandiammal and her three daughters — Pavithra (19) Parimala (18) and Sneha, (16) — in a rented first floor accommodation in a residential building on Muthu Street, right behind the Royapettah police station.
Pandiammal, a native of Karaikudi, was protecting her daughters by keeping Chinnaraj away from them ever since he started coming home in an inebriated condition and ogling her daughters.
