Making a breakthrough in the sensational murder of Infosys software engineer S. Swathi (24) at the Nungambakkam railway station in Chennai last week, the police late on Friday arrested her suspected killer in Tirunelveli in southern Tamil Nadu. The accused, P Ramkumar, is from Sengottai, Tirunelveli and was nabbed by the police on Friday night but the 23 year-old managed to slit his throat with a sharp object when the police surrounded him.
