Kannur – Govindachamy, the convict in the Soumya murder case who recently escaped from Kannur Central Jail, will be transferred to the high-security prison in Viyyur. He was produced before the court at 4 PM on Friday before the prison transfer.
The Crime Branch had earlier interrogated him in detail, and evidence was collected from the jail. Govindachamy reportedly confessed that his plan was to leave Kerala after escaping. He admitted that the escape had been planned for over a month and that a fellow inmate had given him the blade used to break the cell.
He was found hiding inside a well in an abandoned field in Thalapp, around 11 AM on the day of the escape.
