Kerala blasts | A mild-mannered person for his neighbours, suspect offered Spoken English classes near his rented house in Kochi for three years

Till multiple blasts ripped through a convention centre killing three and injuring 50-odd attending a congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses at Kalamassery in Kochi, Kerala, on a sleepy Sunday morning, house no. 92 along the Comrade Khader Road at Kuthapady, near Thammanam, was indistinct from several other dwellings lining the residential area in the Kochi city limits.

All that changed since the tenant of that household, 57-year-old Martin Dominic, surrendered before the police claiming responsibility for the blasts on October 29 afternoon. The house now remains marked out by the presence of a heavy posse of media personnel stationed before it. It was from this nondescript dwelling that Martin set out for what turned out to be a shocking incident, the tremors of which were felt far beyond Kerala.
