Kozhikode: An elderly alcoholic man stabbed his son to death in Poovaranthodu, Koodaranji, here on Saturday. Christy (24) was stabbed by his father, John Cheriyan Purath (Biju), in the early hours of Saturday while he was asleep. 

Biju, known for his alcoholism, frequently quarrelled with family members after drinking. Due to Biju's quarrels at home, his three sons—Chrisy, Justy, and Bestie—lived separately in rented accommodation, ward member Elsamma told Onmanorama. Their mother, Lisa Biju, works abroad.

Christy's body has been moved to the government medical college mortuary. Biju is currently in police custody.
