Samuel Jerome is not a lawyer as claimed. He is a journalist and a representative of the killer's family. He is not a lawyer as he told the BBC channel.

He walks around venues and collects donations. He extorted money in the name of 'mediation', stole forty thousand dollars raised through crowd funding. He has not contacted us on this matter. No calls, no messages; I challenge him to prove otherwise. I had the opportunity to meet him in Sanaa after the president approved the execution of the sentence. He said, 'a thousand congratulations,' with a happy face.

Within hours, news broke in the Kerala media that a ransom of twenty million dollars was being demanded for his release. For years, our blood has been traded in the name of 'mediation'. We heard of that mediation in his statements to the media. We know the truth, and if he does not stop lying and cheating, we will prove it.
