The body of a young male was found hanging in woods near Thalaimannar on Sunday.
The man, identified as 31 year old, Dharmaseelan Hariharan, is a father of a young child and is originally from Selvanagar in Mannar, the Uthayan reports.
His body was spotted by passersby, who reported the death to the police. The police are treating it as a possible murder inquiry, as his body was found hanging off a very small branch, with his knees touching the ground when it was found, leading police to believe he was murdered before being hung up.
On Saturday he went to a wedding and returned home at 1am. According to the police, relatives of the deceased reported he had an argument with his wife before leaving for work at 4am.
