Trissur (Kerala, India), SVM News, August 31, 2007: An elderly christian woman of 83-years-old brutally murdered on August 31 at Porathassery near Irinjalakkuda in Trissur district of Kerala in India.
The police officer who was coming to investigate the case killed on the way.
Mariyam, wife of Lonappan of Alappadan house was the elderly woman beaten to death by an wooden piece at her head on Thursday in between 4 to 5 in the early dawn.
Mariyam and Lonappan were alone at their house. Three of their four sons Johny, Wilson and Johnson are working in Arabian Gulf. Their second son Paul lives in a seperate house in a distance of around 250 meters. Rosely and Clara are the daughters living in different places.
The youngest daughter-in-law (Johnson's wife) and children had been with them, but because of the grand Onam festival of Kerala, they were out these days to visit her parents.
Lonappan regularly getting up before 4 in the early morning for milking the cow. Thursday also he got up at the same time and went to the cattle shed for milking. When he return back after milking, he saw Mariyam was lying down with full of blood in their bedroom with severe head injuries and found her dead.
86-year-old Lonappan is having the trouble of hearing, so he did not hear the uproars or any unusual sounds.
The wooden piece, which suppose to have used to beat her head was left in the room. Also found that Mariyam's two golden chains of 24 grams and 5 hand rings of eight grams each were missing from the body. But the two finger rings she wore were found kept in her fingers.
The murderer might have entered the house through the back door and attacked Mariyam, when Lonappan went to the cattle shed for milking the cow. Police officials said to the Salem Voice Ministries (SVM) News Service. "It seems the murderers intention could be robbery," police said.
His second son Paul was informed and he reached the house at once. He telephoned the Circle Inspector of Police of Irinjalakuda.
K.L. Jose, 43, the Circle Inspector of Police took the jeep and was coming to the spot to investigate the murder case. On the way the jeep in which he was traveling overturned and rammed into a tree and was killed.
Jose leaves behind Jain, his widow, who is a teacher of Chalakkudi Sacred Heart School and 4 year daughter Evilin, a UKG student.
Inspector General of Police Vijayanand, District Superintendent of Police T. Chandran, Deputy Superintendent V.V.Sasi and forensic experts have been visited the incident house. Circle Inspector Shahul hameed investigating the case.
Paul Ciniraj, president of the Christian Ministers of the Churches of India (CMCI) and the director of Salem Voice Ministries condemned the incident. He asked the authorities to have a very clear and detailed investigation not only for the elderly woman's death, but Circle Inspector's death also.
"Both victims killed inexplicable way. 83 year old woman's murder seems many obscurities. And the Circle Inspector K.L.Jose was alone and he himself drove the jeep, because the driver was absent in the police station. On the way he rammed into a tree and killed. It also seems mysterious. So both cases need a crime branch investigation," Ciniraj said. Christian persecution in India is increasing day by day," he added.
