A 50-year old man killed his son by strangling him during an altercation and he was arrested, police said in Chennai on Thursday.
In his twenties, M Madankumar picked up a quarrel with his family members early on Wednesday at his home here and when the argument turned ugly, his father C Mathivanan strangled him, they said.
Using a rope, Mathivanan and his younger son Madhavan (20) throttled Madankumar that led to his death.
