A 55-year-old woman was shot dead by villagers, who mistook her to be a wild boar that they were chasing from a nearby farm at Eravalam Madura Katchikuppam village near Thirukovilur on Tuesday evening.
Police booked 16 villagers in connection with the incident and arrested six persons so far, including the man who shot the woman with a country-made gun. Local sources said Parvathy (55), wife of Subramanian of Katchikuppam village was diverting water at her sugarcane farm when a gang of villagers, who were chasing the boar saw it entering Subramanian's farm. The gang surrounded the farm in order to hunt down the animal. A Anthony Raj (31) of nearby Molasur village who was carrying the gun at the time of the incident, shot the woman from behind from a distance of about 100 metres, mistaking her to be the wild boar that they were chasing.
However, when they heard the cry of a woman, the men fled the spot and threw the gun into a nearby farm. Some of the nearby farm workers who heard her scream, rescued Parvathy and rushed her to Thirukovilur GH, where she was declared brought dead. Based on the complaint given by the victim's husband Subramani, Thirukovilur police detained Anthony Raj on Tuesday.
Based on Anthony's confession, police arrested five more of his accomplices on Wednesday. A police official said, "We found that about 16 persons from five nearby villages were involved in the case. Till Wednesday we arrested about six habitual hunters including the key accused. We have also confiscated a gun from them." The rest of the gang members would be arrested soon, he added.
Local sources said a team of 20 villagers were involved in hunting wild animals in the surrounding forest areas including Ulundurpet, Rishivandhiyam, and Thiruvannamalai for over two years. Thy possessed an illegal country-made gun. After a hung, they also used to sell the meat in Puducherry, Cuddalore and Villupuram.
That’s a primate....
Now you are just ASKING for a Rosie O'Donuts pic to be posted.........
Rather disrespectful of the poor woman.............
They say “habitual hunter” as if that’s a bad thing.
And how habitual can you be if you have to wait for fifteen guys to finish their turn with the sole shard gun before you get a shot?
We don’t see with our eyes, we see with our brain. I’ve had similar experiences, especially immediately after waking up, since I have what they call night terrors.
But you laughed.
Yes, I did.
It makes me wonder if something like that is how werewolf stories got started.
I don’t recall ever having that experience before or since.
Has anyone seen Rosie O’Donnell lately?
Has anyone seen Hillary recently?
“Ok, so tell me about yourself!”
“Well, I’m Mrs. Parvathy Subramanian of Katchikuppam village, near Thirukovilur, near the farm of Eravalam Madura Katchikuppam, and the forested areas of Ulundurpet, Rishivandhiyam, and Thiruvannamalai.”
Holy crap! Alphabet cereal or what!
OK, how many terabytes of memory do you have filled with images?
Sasquatch?

“Do you know the difference between a woman and a wild boar?”
“No, what is the difference?”
“That’s why I don’t want you fixing me up.”
I'm a little late to the thread, but here ya go...
Forgot to shave that morning?
“A split second later, the deer turned into a person standing in the exact same spot.”
This is also fairly common with mermaids.
Is Michelle OK?
