The Kallambalam police, which have been investigating the inter-connected deaths of three people over one-and-a-half days, recorded the arrest of a friend of the deceased trio on Thursday.
While the police have appeared to have pieced together the puzzle, their findings hinged on scientific findings that have kept the sleuths waiting for conclusive evidence.
The mystery pertained to the deaths of Ajikumar, a head clerk with the Public Works Department, and his friends Ajith and Binuraj within a span of 33 hours from around 10 p.m. on Sunday. Ajikumar had been found stabbed outside his house, while Ajith was mowed down by a pick-up truck early Tuesday. Binuraj, a gym instructor, purportedly committed suicide by jumping in front of a KSRTC bus a few hours later.
