The police have filed a charge sheet in the Chendamangalam massacre case. The thousand-page charge sheet was filed in the North Paravur Magistrate’s Court. The charge sheet states that the accused Ritu Jayan committed atrocities with a previous enmity. The investigation team filed the charge sheet in the Paravur Magistrate’s Court on the thirtieth day after the massacre that shook the country. The thousand-page charge sheet includes 112 witnesses and 60 pieces of evidence.
The police have found that the brutal massacre was caused by an unquenchable hatred towards the family of neighbor Jithin Bose. Ritu Jayan is a drug addict. But the charge sheet also states that he has no mental problems.
On January 16, Ritu killed his neighbors, Pereppadam Kattiparambil Venu, his wife Usha, and his daughter Vinisha, by hitting them on the head with an iron pipe. Jithin Bose, who was attacked along with them, is undergoing treatment in a critical condition. The children who witnessed the brutal act, CCTV footage, and scientific evidence were crucial in the investigation. A 17-member team led by Munambam DySP S Jayakrishnan investigated the case and quickly filed the charge sheet.
