16-year-old girl’s murder: Mother, lover nabbed; body found in well

NEDUMANGADU: The body of a 16-year-old girl who had gone missing two weeks ago from Nedumangadu was found from a deserted well at a house near Karanthal R C mosque.

The police have taken the girl’s mother and her paramour into custody. Karanthala Kurishadi native Manju (39) and her lover Idamala native Aneesh (32) were picked up by the Nedumangadu police from Tamil Nadu.

They had fled their homes ten days ago. The couple was taken into custody as Manju’s daughter Meera’s death was suspected to be a murder. After being tipped off that Meer’a body is inside the well near Manju’s lover’s house, a team, led by Nedumangadu CI Rajesh Kumar and SI Sunil Gopi carried out the search. The body was finally found after the day-long search.

Nedumangadu Mancha resident Manju had been staying for long with her daughter in a rented house in Parandodu It was ten days ago that their relatives complained to the police that Manju and her daughter had gone missing.

The relatives were under the impression that Meera was also with her mother. When the police nabbed the couple on Friday, Meera was not with them. They made contradictory statements and said Meera had committed suicide. However, the police have not taken their statement at face value.
Meanwhile, the locals are in a shock over the death of Meera, who was a high mark scorer in the SSLC exam.
