The police investigation in a missing woman case at Thuvvur in the district has unearthed a cold-blooded murder committed by a former Youth Congress leader with the help of his father, two brothers, and a friend.
The police found that the accused had been influenced by Malayalam crime thrillers such as Sethurama Iyer CBI and Drisyam.
The spine-chilling murder story unfolded when the police recovered the decomposed body of Sujita, 35, wife of Manoj Mankuth, Palliparamba, from a waste pit at the house of Vishnu, a local social worker and former secretary of the Youth Congress Thuvvur constituency, on Monday night.
