Fingerprint experts and the scientific investigation team members collected evidence from the spot on Friday. The police team got a brass bangle from the scene of the crime, which is suspected to have some relation to the crime.
The police dog, that was brought to the scene on Thursday, could not find any lead, as the scent trail was lost along the road towards the Ernakulam South Railway Station.
Sources said an examination of the body found minor injuries on the face and neck and a burn mark on the right hand, which is suspected to have been caused by an attempt to electrocute the victim.
No attempt of theft was detected from either the office or house of the deceased. Initial investigation showed that no money was taken from his person or office premises, because there was Rs.15,000 and a golden ring was in his table, which was seen opened . Only his wife Chinnamma was at the residence at the time of the murder.
No one was present at the commercial building complex at which his office was functioning at that time. The deceased owned the building complex.
Advocate Abraham has one son and four daughters. Son, Dr. M.A. Mathew and his wife Dr. Latha Mathew are the surgeons of Kolencherry MOC Medical College, owned by a Christian Church. Another son-in-law, Dr. Peter Zachariah, is a surgeon of Tiruvalla Medical Mission, owned by Brethren Christian Mission.
"Our pappa was a prayerful man and a good supporter of Christian activites. We, the children and our families also working in Christian institutions and supporting christian mission," Dr. Mathew told to Rev. Paul Ciniraj, the Director of the Salem Voice Ministries and the national President of the Christian Ministers of the Churches in India (CMCI).
