KOCHI: More gruesome reports of the past crimes committed by the main accused in the Aluva rape case have emerged.

His troubled life started with stealing mobile phones and electronic appliances. He is not on amicable terms with his family and is of a reclusive kind, with no friends to hang out with. Locals say he is prone to marijuana.

He once tried to escape a police entourage after unlocking the handcuff. Christin is seldom seen during the daytime but ventures out with devious intentions only at night.
