Gold Chain Dispute Leads to Mother's Murder
26 Nov
Summary
- Elderly woman murdered allegedly by daughter and her partner.
- Missing gold chain was crucial in cracking the murder case.
- An argument over the gold chain escalated into a fatal scuffle.
A shocking crime unfolded in Thrissur, Kerala, where a 75-year-old woman, Thankamani, was allegedly murdered by her daughter, Sandhya, and her partner, Nithin. The motive appears to be a gold chain that Sandhya wanted to pawn to assist Nithin financially. When Thankamani refused to part with her jewelry, an argument ensued, escalating into a physical altercation.
During the struggle, Sandhya reportedly pushed her mother, causing Thankamani to fall and hit her head. The post-mortem examination later confirmed the death was a homicide, contradicting initial assumptions of an accidental fall. The missing gold chain, a constant accessory for Thankamani, became the key piece of evidence for the investigating officers.
Following the post-mortem results and inquiries with neighbors about the missing chain, Sandhya and Nithin were questioned. Under interrogation, they confessed to their involvement. The couple has since been taken into custody, and the police are continuing their investigation into the tragic incident.
