THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Hints say a woman who helped the accused flee in Venjaramoodu double murder case to escape has been taken into custody. The woman who helped accused Sajeev and Sanal to flee is in custody of the police. She was taken into custody from Vellarada in the capital city. The police had arrested four in the case today. Shajith, Najeeb, Ajitha and Sathy are those arrested. They have a role in the conspiracy and had helped the accused in committing the murder. The arrest of Sajeev and Sanal will be recorded in the afternoon.

Meantime, Mithilaj’s brother Nizam told the media that a 10-member team of congress activists brutally attacked Mithilaj and Haq Muhammed with the intention of killing them and political enmity is the reason for it. He said the team thought that if the two were eliminated, they could stop the growth of the CPM.

“The same group who hacked DYFI activist Faizal earlier, is involved in this murder also. They may have targeted Haq in the aftermath of the incident that led to the attack on Faizal. Mithilaj was stabbed when he tried to protect Haq. He sustained seven inches deep injuries in his heart. His head was found severed. He sustained hack injuries on his spinal cord also. They attacked the two brutally. Mithilaj was not a goon. This will not happen without the knowledge of congress party’s top leadership,” his brother alleged.

The two DYFI activists were hacked to death on the previous day of Thiruvonam. The two were murdered when they were returning home in their two-wheeler.
