An officer said Armogam told his friends that he had just come out of jail and was going through a major financial crisis, asking for their help. He further told them that they should help him as all of them have committed a lot of crime together. This led to an argument, which then turned into a fight.
The five called other people from the area and attacked Armogam with knives and rods, causing him serious injuries. He was later declared dead.
