THRISSUR: Mansoor Malik, a native of Bengal was murdered by his wife Reshma Beevi and lover Beeru after a clear planning. After giving him liquor, the two beat him to death with an iron rod. Both were careful not to let the children know about the murder.
Beeru was assisting Mansoor, a goldsmith. Mansoor, his wife and two children were living on the first floor and Beeru with his child on the ground floor in a two-storied rented house. The children were sleeping downstairs when the murder was committed upstairs. When the kids asked about Mansoor the next morning, Reshma told them that their father had gone to his native place.
The murder was committed on December 12. The body of Mansoor was hidden in the toilet a whole day. Reshma threatened the children that if they go that side, their father would beat them. The locals were in tears when the children spoke innocently without knowing anything about the incident. The police did not get any hint of a murder or a fight from the children. The child welfare committee had taken away the children on Sunday.
