Karur: In yet another suspected honour killing in Tamil Nadu, a youth was hacked to death in a liquor bar here apparently for marrying a girl against the wishes of her family a year ago.

Police said a four-member gang attacked Suresh Arockiasamy with sickles used to open tender coconuts when he was having a drink at the bar attached to a state-run liquor outlet late Saturday night. The victim, in his mid 20s, died while being rushed to a hospital.
