KOZHIKODE: The interrogation of persons taken into custody in connection with the serial deaths of six members of a family at Koodathayi here is progressing. Evidence and events that could even look like a thriller movie are coming out. The crime surfaced after Roy’s brother Rojo lodged a petition. The same Rojo escaped from a similar fate as his family member was because he was in the USA. Earlier, Mathew, Annamma’s brother, who expressed doubt in the deaths of Annamma, Tom Thomas and Roy was also murdered.

Mathew who was a resident of another house was killed only because he expressed doubts about the deaths. Jolly had made several attempts to make Rojo who was in America, withdraw his petition. After Roy’s death, Jolly married Shaju-son of Zakkariya and nephew of the deceased Tom Thomas. Shaju’s daughter Alphonsa and wife Sili were murdered in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
