PATHANAMTHITTA: A woman was killed in an attack unleashed by goons towards the house of a Kerala Anti-Social Activities Prevention Act (KAAPA) case accused. The incident happened at Enadimangalam in Pathanamthitta. The attack was towards the house of Suryalal in Ozhuvanpara. His mother Sujatha (55), who was seriously injured died while undergoing treatment in Kottayam Medical College Hospital.

Suryalal’s house was attacked by a 15-member team late last night. Though Sujatha was admitted in the hospital, her life could not be saved. Only Sujatha was at home at the time of the incident. Suryalal and his brother Chandralal are accused in many criminal cases.

The attack was part of a revenge towards Sujatha’s children Suryalal and Chandralal. The team who came in search of the two attacked her as they were not at home. The goons covered their faces with a towel and beat her with an iron rod on her face and head. Her rib bones were damaged in the attack with a stone.

After unleashing violence, they damaged the household appliances. They left after putting the appliances including the cot in the well.

Police said a road dispute that broke out on Saturday ended in the murder of the woman. There was a dispute between Saran and Saranya, their neighbours, natives of Enath. When the dispute broke out on Saturday, Chandralal and Suryalal were in favour of Sandhya. The brothers came with their pet dog. Meanwhile, the dog bit and injured some present there. The attack was in retaliation for this. The police have started a detailed investigation into the incident.
