Kerala Women’s Commission chairperson P. Satheedevi on Saturday visited the house of the man who was bludgeoned to death by a youth and three others just few hours before his daughter’s marriage earlier this week.
Ms. Satheedevi consoled the daughter and wife of the deceased. The commission had earlier suo motu taken a case in this connection.
She said the case had to be investigated from the angle that it was a planned murder carried out by the accused and the family members of co-accused Jishnu. After visiting the house at Vadasserikkonam, Kallambalam, the commission had learnt that a group was actively trying to protect the accused. Steps should be taken to protect the witnesses to the murder – the deceased Raju’s brother-in-law and daughter.
