KOZHIKODE: Don’t think that Jolly alone is the culprit behind the serial murders, says Ranji- the sister of Roy-one among the victims of the Koodathayi serial murders. Jolly’s son Romo said that anyone who did the crime should be punished. He added that his mother alone cannot do this crime.

Romo made serious allegations against Jolly’s second husband Shaju Scaria. Romo denied the claims that his father Roy was an alcoholic and experienced mental crisis. He also refuted Shaju’s statement that Roy and Jolly used to fight.

“How can a person who never even travelled with my father say that he is an alcoholic? As a stepfather, he never gave us any recognitions. He never intervened in me and my brother’s matters. We accepted him as a stepfather because we thought he’ll protect our mother”, Romo said.

“This is an attempt made by Shaju to portray that he is clean. As some items have been shifted from the house, it should be suspected that key evidence are moved. Shaju is trying to cover his mistakes. I don’t think that my mother alone can do all this. There were no situations to suspect mother as she used to manage everything well. Shaju went to watch cinema when the Crime Branch took mother for interrogation. I have suspicions that my stepfather is involved in the murders”, Romo alleged.

“The day before his death, my father Roy talked to me. He jokingly asked his brother where he is having a fake sleep. Next day while I woke up I found that my father was dead. Ours used to be a peaceful family”, Romo said.
