Sakthikumar [A-2] and I decided to abduct Premkumar, who was known to us and demand ransom from his father - Gajendra Raja [PW-1]. So, I asked Sakthikumar [A-2] to procure some liquor and I called Premkumar from a public call office by dropping an one rupee coin and asked him to join us for a drink. Premkumar came by Hero Honda Splendor Plus motorbike bearing Registration No.TN-67-J-7130. I took my Apache motorbike bearing Registration No.TN-67-AQ-5315 and on the way, we picked up Sakthikumar [A-2] from http://www.judis.nic.in Thendral Nagar. All the three of us went to the terrace of Councillor Nagaraj's house in Thendral Nagar and boozed. We mixed sleeping tablets in Premkumar's drink. Premkumar drank brandy and we consumed beer. Within a short while, Premkumar fainted. Sakthikumar [A-2] and I took my Apache motorbike and came to Srirangapalayam Railway Gate, from where I picked up my Maruti Omni Van bearing Registration No.TN67-S-7413 and came back to Councillor Nagaraj's house. Sakthikumar [A-2] followed me in my Apache motorbike. After reaching Councillor Nagaraj's house, we took Premkumar and dumped him in the back seat of the Omni Van and took him to my father's factory. There, we strangulated him with a wire and murdered him. After that, we dug a pit in the mill and buried him, after removing all his clothes. We took his clothes in a gunny bag and burnt the same near Kothai Nachiyarpuram with petrol that was taken from my motorbike, around 03.30 a.m, on http://www.judis.nic.in 05.05.2013. I handed over the mobile phone of Premkumar to Sakthikumar [A-2]. Sakthikumar [A-2] took my Apache motorbike and went to Srirangapalayam Railway Gate. I went behind him by my Omni Van. I parked my car near Srirangapalayam Railway Gate and went in the Apache motorbike driven by Sakthikumar [A-2] to Councillor Nagaraj's house in Thendral Nagar and took Premkumar's bike and left it with the key near Chevakkadu in Thendral Nagar. Thereafter, I dropped Sakthikumar [A-2] near his house and went home. After dawn, on 05.05.2013, around 07.00 a.m., we went to Thendral Nagar and found that Premkumar's motorbike was missing. Thereafter, at 07.30 p.m., we came to Annappa Raja School Ground and we used the mobile phone of Premkumar to call his father and gave two missed calls to him. His father called back and Sakthikumar [A-2] demanded Rs.1.50 crores from him as ransom for releasing Premkumar. A week later, when the police started searching for us, we http://www.judis.nic.in got scared, since we had buried his body in my father's factory and so, we have come before you and surrendered".
