Daijiworld Media Network – Kasargod (SP)
Kasargod, Feb 9: The investigating team entrusted with the task of unearthing reasons for the deaths of Soni Kutty, his wife, and their two children, has made some headway.
It may be recalled that lifeless bodies of Soni, his wife, Theresiamma, and children, Jerin and Jewel, were found in a car parked near Mayippady on January 29 morning this year.
The police, who have recovered a box with secret locking system, hope to get some clues from it.
They have got information that a person residing in Germany had remitted a sum of about a crore of rupees to his relative in Kasargod, and that Soni Kutty had borrowed this money from the recipient with a promise to repay it within a certain period. The person, who waited till the expiry of time he had given to Kutty, started demanding his money back, but Soni Kutty did not have money with him, the police feel. Soni then urged his wife to part with the money she had with the bank and also the money her parents had given to her, to be able to clear the loan, but she refused.
It is surmised that Soni, in a fit of rage arising out of frustration and helplessness, would have killed his wife and the two children. Soni would thereafter have loaded the three bodies into his car before driving to Mayippady and committing suicide there, is the theory presently in circulation. The timing of the deaths calculated during the post-mortem also tallies with this version of the story.
