The person arrested has been identified as Biju (34), a close relative of Liji and an accused in several cases. Biju was arrested by a team led by Varkala circle inspector Shaji. Even though he was questioned earlier, he confessed to the crime only last night.Liji, a resident of Mundayil in Varkala, who was a salesgirl at a fancy ornament shop, was attacked while she was returning home by her relative. Frightened, Liji took refuge in a nearby house and informed the residents of the situation. However, they saw no one outside. So, after waiting for some time, Liji resumed her walk home, and then her stalker made reappearance. This time, he grabbed her by her hair and pulled her towards him. When she objected, he knocked her down and rode the bike over her body, inflicting serious injuries. He then fled the scene. The locals rushed Liji to the Varkala district hospital and then to the medical college hospital, where she was admitted.
She succumbed to her injuries at the Medical College hospital here on June 15.
