The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team re-investigating the sensational Walayar case, in which two minor sisters were found hanging in mysterious circumstances in their house at Attappallam near Walayar six years ago, has replaced its members with officers from other States.
The CBI included officers from other States with the hope of bringing a fresh perspective to the investigation. The earlier investigations by the State police as well as the CBI met a dead end because of a lack of scientific evidence to prove that the little siblings were murdered as alleged by their mother.
The woman officer leading the CBI team will, however, continue. The victims’ mother had demanded that non-Malayali officers be appointed for the reinvestigation.
