Minor boy ends life
A 15-year-old boy housed in a de-addiction and rehabilitation centre for children at Thirukanurpatti in Thanjavur district allegedly ended his life in at the centre on Tuesday. A native of Thirunageswaram in Kumbakonam, the boy's parents were no more. Prior to being housed at the centre, the boy was earlier accommodated in a home situated on the Pudukottai road at Thanjavur and was studying class IX in a school. In mid-July, the boy jumped over the perimeter wall of the home and allegedly tried to break the glass pane of a car parked there and attempted to steal the items. The car owner lodged a complaint with the home. A day later, the boy went missing and was traced the same night. He was subsequently accommodated in the de-addiction and rehabilitation centre for children at Thirukanurpatti through the Child Welfare Committee.
