KOCHI: Sanu Mohan, who was taken into custody for the murder of his 11-year-old daughter Vaiga, was watching the latest Malayalam supernatural mystery at a multiplex in Bengaluru when family members were waiting to receive his daughter’s body after the autopsy at the Ernakulam General hospital in Kochi.Sanu, caught from Karwar near the Karnataka-Goa border, was on a self-indulgent mode after killing his daughter whose body was recovered under mysterious circumstances from the Muttar river near Manjummel on March 22. 

Sanu revealed the details of his life after he fled Kochi when investigation officers asked how he spent the first two days after escaping. “Apart from spending time watching a movie at Bengaluru, he was on a spending spree, a major part of which was at a bar and other gambling centres.
