Kollam: In a bizzare incident, a man killed his kin and shot a video posing in front of the victim's body. He then posted the video on social media with a film music in the background.
Abdul Ali attempted suicide after committing the crime. The accused and the victim Jalaludeen worked at a meat shop in Anchal. Both of them hailed from Assam.
Ali and Jalaludeen reportedly entered into an argument over a mobile phone that led to a fierce fight. The former then hacked Jalaludeen to death with a chopper used for slaughtering chicken.
