The police said that Kumar and Aravind, a resident of Perambur, accompanied Karthik to the playground at Kattur near Avadi where Prakash was found dead in a pool of blood on Thursday.
The duo reportedly told police that Karthik brought them to Kattur claiming to meet Prakash regarding work. But, he allegedly hacked him with a machete in front of them and threatened them not to tell anybody about the incident. Kumar and Aravind are likely to be remanded on Friday and further inquiry is on. The police hope to find the motive behind the murder after they nab Karthik.
The deceased, Prakash, hailed from Triplicane and his body was identified a day after the murder as his wife Sarojini had lodged a complaint that Prakash had been missingfrom Thursday.
