At least two successive explosions ripped through a crowded Jehovah’s Witnesses prayer convention at Kalamassery in Ernakulam on October 29 morning, killing two people and injuring 41 other worshippers.
The police identified one of the deceased as 53-year-old Kumari from Thodupuzha. The other victim remained unidentified.
The police have detained Kochi resident Dominic Martin, a “disenchanted” member of the religious group, as a suspect in the case. They have booked him under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, paving the way for a possible National Investigation Agency probe.
