POOVAR: The police have intensified their efforts to get Akhilesh Nair, the prime suspect in the murder of Rakhimol (30) and burying the body in a pit at his house in Amboori. Akhilesh after committing the murder returned to Delhi to join office and the police have contacted officials to send him back. Neyyattinkara DySP said they will go to Delhi and take him into custody after information is obtained from there.

He strangulated her to death in his house in Amboori. Akhilesh’s friend Adarsh raised the accelerator so that the noise will not be heard outside. The pit to bury the body was dug earlier itself. Adarsh told police that after murdering her all of them buried the body together. He also told police that salt was strewn on the body so that foul smell does not emanate and later planted arecanut saplings on top of them. The post mortem report showed that some of the bones on her neck was broken. This confirms the statement that she was strangulated to death.

Akhilesh had told Adarsh that she was five years elder to him. I tried to avoid her but she is not leaving me.

Soon after the post mortem, the body was cremated in the premises of her house.

Her body was found after taking into custody Adarsh, friend of Akhilesh.

Police are suspecting the hands of Akhilesh and his brother Rahul. Akhilesh, a soldier in the Indian Army was in a relationship with Rakhimol. He was engaged to another girl recently. Rakhimol met this girl and had requested her to withdraw from the marriage. This may have forced him to commit the crime.
