MALAYIDAMTHURUTHU (PERUMBAVOOR): After the brutal rape and murder of a law student in which an Assamese was convicted, a West Bengal native has been arrested for brutally killing a college student in her house at Malayidamthuruthu, near Perumbavoor, on Monday.
Nimisha Thampi, 22, Anthinattu, Ambunadu near Thadiyittaparambu, was murdered at 10 am on Monday. According to the police, Biju Molla, 34, a native of Murshidabad, West Bengal, has been arrested in connection with it.
