Mangalore, November 2: The Kodimbala double murder case has taken a new twist with the son of the victims revealing that two local residents were responsible for death of Baby alias Thomas and Mary.

 

Vimal Thomas, son of Thomas told media persons that local residents Nixon alias Avarachan and K J James Valladul were the key accused in the double murder, which occurred on September 26 at Undila village of Kodimbala in Puttur taluk.

 

Demanding the arrest of the notorious duo, he said that they were addicted to gambling and frequently used to seek money from Thomas.

 

He also said that it was Nixon who introduced Kamaruddin alias Sayyad, one of the two arrested, to his father.

 

Co-conspirators

 

Vimal Thomas also said that though Nixon and James were the key accused in the case, police have apprehended only the co-conspirators Kamaruddin alias Sayyad (25) of Kodimbala and Mohammed Rafiq (33) of Somwarpet.

 

He said that his father had sold their property in Kerala for Rs 60 lakh and had purchased a house along with land at Kodimbala for Rs30 lakh and jewellery weighing 40 sovereigns in possession of his father was not traced at the time of his father murder.

 

“Initially, we suspected that those who had murdered them had taken away Rs25 lakh and the gold jewellery,” Vimal Thomas said adding that suspicions were aroused when police recovered only a pair of earrings and a gold chain from the accused.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.
