A man was bludgeoned to death by his lover while visiting India.

The 68-year-old French tourist was smacked across the head with a wooden stick after he got into an argument with his 29-year-old male lover after they had sex in India – where homosexuality is still a criminal offence.

His body was then chopped into pieces and the lover stuffed the body into three different sandbags.

Local police in Thaniavur, in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, confirmed they arrested the 29-year-old student in connection with the murder where he confessed saying they got into a fight after sex.

“The student got frustrated and hit him on the head with a wooden stick and he [the tourist] collapsed,” a police officer told AFP.

The French Embassy have allegedly been told about the murder.
