KOCHI: It is not enough to address Mohammed Shafi, the main conspirator in the human sacrifice case which shocked Kerala, proud of being a refined society, as a notorious criminal. Though he looks calm, he is a psychopath and a sexual pervert and a serial offender. Turns violent soon, lures victim by fabricating stories and kills them brutally. He finds pleasure in cruelty. Brainwashes and lures women with promises of riches. He was cool and told police that it was his long time desire to eat the special body parts of women. The police are investigating whether he has sacrificed more humans. He is confusing the officers by changing his statements now and then.

Shafi is the son of Munzoor of Perumbavoor Vengola Vezhappilly House. This is the address given in his aadhar card. He left home at the age of 16. He is Rasheed for the people of Ponjassery in Perumbavoor. However, no one in Murikkasseri, Idukki knows his real name. When Shafi’s picture surfaced, the people of Murikkasseri asked ‘isn’t this Andhra Koya’. As no one knew from where he came, he was nicknamed ‘Andhra Koya’. Even after two decades, they have not forgotten Andhra Koya, a regular trouble maker and a thief. The police are now investigating the missing cases at places where he had stayed.

Shafi performed deadly rituals to eliminate enemies and to get treasure. He derives sexual pleasure from his actions and will go to any extent, even kill for it, he is a sadist with a mind set to cause injury, harm, and death. Offerings like hen, blood, foetus… and burying all this secretly in enemies’ courtyard...occult practices like this go on. People go before black magicians for wealth, prosperity and a happy life. However, it is surprising that educated people and high officials fall in their traps. People who have attained assets illegally are regular customers.
