KOCHI: Sanu Mohan, father of Vaiga (11) who was found dead in Muttar River, has confessed to the crime. He has admitted to have killed her. He told police that his plan was to commit suicide along with Vaiga due to financial liabilities. He decided to kill her as nobody would be there for Vaiga if he dies. However, after throwing her to the river, his mind did not allow him to commit suicide. After that, he fled in the car. Police said Sanu told them that Vaiga was his favourite daughter.
Sanu will be further questioned as his statements are contradictory. His arrest will be registered today. Sanu Mohan, who was arrested from Karwar in Karnataka yesterday was brought to Thrikkakara police station in Kochi around 4 am Monday morning.
