KOLLAM: The custody period of Uthra murder case accused Sooraj and Suresh will end on Saturday and by evening, they will be produced in Punalur court.

The investigation team will demand extension of their custody, citing that it is a rare case.

Earlier Uthara’s husband Sooraj was taken to the houses at Anchal and Adoor and Enath to collect evidence. It was at Enath that Suresh had reportedly handed over snakes to Sooraj.

Suresh was also taken to the above places except Anchal. Though Sooraj had confessed to the crime during the interrogation, clarity is needed in some more things, according to the police.

Sooraj had been repeatedly saying that, what Uthra had seen Adoor house was rat-snake.

Though it has become clear that Dolo tablet was given to sedate Uthra, no clarification is available on the second tablet given.

However, Sooraj has been saying that he had given three tablets. This will be clarified once the chemical examination result is out.

Rural SP Harishankar, meanwhile, informed that he had given letter to speed up the despatch of scientific and post-mortem reports.
