Chennai techie murder: Police release photo of suspect
A photo of the suspect in the murder of a 24-year-old woman IT professional was today released by the city police, four days after they made public CCTV images of the incident at a railway station here.
  Â
Police released a 'file photo' of the man, saying it had been 'developed' by them. The photo shows a man wearing blue shirt and black pants, similar to what was seen in the CCTV footage released by the police on Sunday.
  Â
No further details were made available.
  Â
Police are yet to crack the murder of S Swathi, who was hacked to death on Friday at the busy Nungambakkam railway station, prompting a furore by the civil society and political parties.
  Â
The woman, employed with IT major Infosys, was allegedly killed by an unidentified man on a platform while she was waiting to board a train on her way to office around 6:30 AM.
  Â
The Madras High Court had also come down on the state government, warning it of suo motu intervention if there was any slackness in the probe.
Â
The weapon believed to have been used in the murder, a sickle, had been recovered last week from the railway track near the station premises, police added.Â
  Â
The probe, originally done by the Government Railway Police, was later shifted to the city police who have now formed eight special teams to crack the murder.Â
