THRISSUR: Police suspect that the brothers' mother was also involved in the incident where a youth killed his drunken brother. Sabu, the accused, strangled his brother and buried his body last Saturday. Sabu confessed to the police that he had strangled his brother Babu to death and buried the body in an empty field 300 meters away from his house. However, the police concluded that a person cannot carry the body so far alone and bury it. Hence, they suspect that the mother of the brothers was also involved in the crime.

Police said that they would soon question the mother of the brothers. On March 19th, Sabu and his mother lodged a complaint with the police stating that Babu had gone missing. Later, Sabu confessed to the police that he had strangled Babu and buried his body in the empty field. It has been revealed that Sabu was also drunk at the time of the incident. Police had earlier launched a detailed investigation following a complaint that Babu was missing. During the investigation, the police had found that the brothers used to constantly quarrel with each other.
