NEDUMANGADU: Meera, whose life was snuffed out by her own mother and the latter’s paramour, was a girl who had noble dreams. Once she told her school teacher, “Mam, for me, I've only my mother and for my mother, she only has me… We want to live without fearing anybody…”
At that time the teacher consoled Meera saying, “Daughter you will surely get a government job if you study well. Then you can build your own house and live happily with your mother…”
For her, such soothing words of her teachers were the only source of consolation and inspiration, at the same time.
No one who knew her ever thought that her mother herself would be one of her ‘killers’. (Meera was allegedly strangled and dumped in a well at Karathala Kurishadi mukku in Nedumangadu by her mother Manjusha and her lover Aneesh on June 10).
Meera was on high spirits after she passed SSLC exams with bright marks. It had been only one month since she and her mother started living in a rented house in Thekkumkara Parandottu.
Meera is the daughter Manjusha, a Mancha Perumala native, had with her first husband. After 17 years of marital life, Meera’s father abandoned the family and went away.
Manjusha’s second marriage was with a widower from Karanthala but that relationship also didn’t last more than one year. It was then Karanthala Kurishadi native and construction worker Aneesh got close to Manjusha.
It was he who shifted Meera and her daughter to the rented house. Aneesh was not married but Meera disliked him for some reason and she couldn’t accept him as her stepfather.
It was this issue that resulted in the coldblooded murder of the 16-year-old Meera.
To lead a happy romantic life, Manjusha and Aneesh first decided to choke Meera to death and hang her but this plan didn’t work. It was after that, they chose a rainy day to take her life.
The students and teachers of Karippur Govt School, where Meera studied, are yet to come to terms with her death.
