KOCHI: The parents of the deceased Walayar girls have approached the Kerala High Court, seeking to quash the CBI charge sheet filed against them.
They also requested further investigation into the girls' deaths, focusing on potential homicidal angles. The court has issued a notice to the CBI in response. The parents alleged that the further investigation by the CBI was biased with extraneous consideration by misusing the official power.
The investigating agency has no definite conclusion about the manner of death as to whether it is a homicide or suicide.
It is the established proposition in forensic science that the absence of fibre content on the palm indicates homicidal death. The cellophane impressions were taken from both the palms and the neck of the younger girl’ dead body, and also from the ligature.
The FSL report concludes the absence of fibre on the palms, which shows the fact that the girl child did not touch the ligature, which was found used for suspension, which indicates that it is a case of homicidal death.
The parents stated that no investigation has been conducted into the suspicious deaths of the accused persons-- Pradeep and Madhu alias Kutti Madhu, and a suspect, John Praveen.
The CBI is obliged to conduct an enquiry into that angle also connecting the deaths of the minor girls.
The post-mortem examination of John Pradeep shows serious antemortem injuries on the vital parts of the body, including incised wounds.
The petitioners have been arrayed as the accused, not on logical grounds.
Merely based on some witness statements having no credibility, the investigating officer has reached the conclusion that the petitioners have committed the offences.
The relationship between the petitioners and the accused is presented with exaggeration. The investigating agency is trying to end the matter as a suicide case. Throughout the investigation, they had picked out some materials to write off a heinous crime only as a suicide case, the parents alleged.
