THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In an evidence examination by the police with the presence of the accused, key physical evidence related to the Amboor Rakhi murder case were recovered. The rope used to strangle Rakhi was found under the staircase of the house. It was Akhil who pointed out the evidence hidden from plain sight.

The object used to dig the pit used to cover Rakhi’s body was also recovered from the premises of Akhil’s house. The accused also showed the Rakhi’s footwear. But the victim’s handbag and dress couldn’t be found. As per the statement of the accused, these were burnt.

Even though the police did inspect for evidence here last day, the protest of the locals prevented them from a thorough examination. Following this, the police requested the court to hand the accused over to custody, which the court accepted.
