Thiyagarajah Thayanathan, a disgruntled and alcoholic Tamil was allegedly killed by a fellow Tamil and police are considering the killing as manslaughter.

The killing had taken place in Wembley in the Northwest London on 31 May 2008. The victim is said to be severely beaten by the assailant. The Wembley Police is investigating the killing and is looking for information about the suspect assailant.

Wembley had seen many gang related murders for nearly ten years. Machetes, guns, axes and crude weapons have been used in the violent fights. Following significant increase in resources to deal with Tamil crimes, violence has reduced recently. According to police, the recent death in the area is mainly due to squabbles between individuals.

Thayanathan is the second alcohol related Tamil man to die in Wembley within the past few months.
