As the intruder pondered, he heard muffled voices from above. That pushed his adrenalin further as he loped over the steps, two at time, and stood on the landing, undecided which way to go. Then he heard, another muffled sound coming from a room on his left!
Stealthily, he tip-toed to the door and found it slightly ajar. As he contained his fear and anxiety, he slowly took a peek into the room. His eyes widened with even more fear as he saw Welding Raja and what he was doing!!
Welding Raja, so intent on finishing off the job that he was compelled to under the circumstances, completely was unaware of the curious onlooker at the door! He had both his hands around Moonampirai and was strangling her with all his might! Fighting him hard and gasping for air, Moon. flailed her arms abt hoping to unseat him from above her. But slowly, the fight went out of her with her last breath and she slumped onto the floor in a dead heap!
Not stopping to check her pulse or anything, Welding Raja looked around and found the half-empty kerosene can and liberally doused Moonampirai and Santhanam's bodies! Searching for Santhanam's pockets he soon found his lighter. With a flick of the thumb, a lone flame burned bright from the lighter, which Raja threw on Santhanam with all the hatred he had harboured for so long against the corrupt cop!!
Flames, quickly spread bright and hot as they claimed first the clothes and then the two bodies of Santhanam and Moon. and soon turned into a acrid smelling bonfire!!
Not waiting another minute, the intruder quickly ran out of the house, shocked out of his skull at what he had witnessed! Soon after, Raja too stealthily let himself out of the back door before vaulting the wall behind and disappeared into the bushes!
As the two bodies burned, acrid smoke began to suffuse and cloud the room and the rest of the house beyond. Into this horror, Insp. Anbalagan who had been tearing his way thru traffic, to reach his dying sister, pounds on the locked doors and prises loose an outside window only to be greeted with the charred bodies of a man and a woman..........

Meenatchi eavesdrops on Shanthi and Gomathinayagam's conversation from outside the Siva Granites manager's office.
She had followed Gomathi from the hospital to the office upon Ulaganathan's request.
She listens intently for Shanthi's reply to Gomathi's question:
"Don't you think you deserve a life of your own? With Ulaganathan?"
"A life of my own, yes ... but not with that crook Ulaganathan!" replies Shanthi to her brother's queries.
"Well then, it is completely up to you... if you wish to ruin your own future, I can't do anything about it..." says Gomathi sadly.
"Anyway, I'm off to visit Ulagu at the hospital ... are you coming?"
Shanthi's icy glare silences him, and he quickly excuses himself and leaves the office.
Meenatchi quickly retreats just before Gomathi exits. She gets into her car and drives off hurriedly.
Both of them don't see Shanthi's thoughtful expression.

Gomathi arrives at the Government Hospital. As he goes into the corridor where Ulaganathan's room is, he sees the back of a young lady pushing a man in a wheelchair at the far end of the hall.
Taking no notice of this, he goes into Ulaganathan's room, only to find it empty ...
He rushes to a nurse and asks her where the patient is...
"He was just only discharged ... he went off with a young woman down the hall..."
Gomathi rushes down the corridor, but there is no sign of Ulagu ...
THODARUM ...
