Kollam Horror: A Casual Drinking Session Turns Fatal
In a shocking incident that has left the people of Kollam in a state of shock, a 30-year-old man was hacked to death by his neighbour following a heated argument that erupted during a casual drinking session. The incident took place in Moozhikode, under the Puthoor area of Kollam district, and has sent a wave of fear among the residents.
The Victim and the Accused
The police have identified the victim as Adarsh (30), a resident of Moozhikode. His friend and neighbour, Sunilkumar, has been arrested for the murder. According to the police, Adarsh and Sunilkumar were drinking together at Sunilkumar’s house when the argument broke out. The two men had been friends for a long time, and it is surprising that their friendship turned sour in such a violent manner.
The Argument That Turned Fatal
The incident happened late last night, around 11 PM. According to the police, things took a deadly turn after Adarsh called Sunilkumar a ‘varathan’, a Malayalam word that means ‘outsider’ or ‘newcomer’. Sunilkumar was reportedly provoked by this and grabbed an axe, striking Adarsh on the head, killing him instantly. The police have recovered the axe from the crime scene and are investigating the matter further.
A Strange Twist
In a strange twist, Sunilkumar himself called the Puthoor police and informed them about the murder. A police team rushed to the spot and took him into custody. This raises questions about Sunilkumar’s intentions and whether he was trying to cover up his crime by reporting it to the police himself. The police are investigating this angle further to determine the motive behind the murder.
The Investigation
After completing the initial inquest procedures at the crime scene, the police moved Adarsh’s body to the taluk hospital mortuary for a post-mortem. The body will be handed over to his relatives after the procedure is completed. The police are also questioning Sunilkumar’s family members and other witnesses to gather more information about the incident.
A Growing Concern
This incident highlights the growing concern of violence in Kerala. In recent times, there have been several incidents of murder and assault in the state, which has raised alarm among the people. The police are working hard to maintain law and order in the state, but incidents like these show that there is still a lot to be done.
A Call for Action
The people of Kollam are demanding action from the authorities to prevent such incidents in the future. They want the police to take strict action against those who are involved in such crimes and to ensure that the state is safe for all its citizens. The government has promised to take stern action against those who are responsible for the murder and to provide compensation to Adarsh’s family.
As the investigation continues, the people of Kollam are waiting with bated breath for justice to be served. They want the truth to come out and for those responsible for the murder to be brought to book.
