Injure criminal with one inventor (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marconi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inventor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'injure criminal with one' is the wordplay.
'injure' becomes 'mar' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'criminal' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for 'convict').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'i' (roman numeral).
'mar'+'con'+'i'='MARCONI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for marconi that I've seen before include "Radio enthusiast" , "Communications pioneer" , "Italian inventor of radio" , "Developer of radio-telegraphy" , "Developer of radio telegraphy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
