Adam Joseph, a computer science student in Berlin, Germany, who was a resident of Thattarambalam in Mavelikara, has been stabbed to death, his family was informed on Friday. Adam Joseph (30) was the son of the late George Joseph and Lily Daniel. Lily is employed as a pharmacist in Bahrain. Adam, who completed a BSc in Computer Science from IHRD, Mavelikkara, left for Germany to do his post-graduation in 2023. He was supposed to visit Kerala in January, his relatives said. 

Adam grew up with Kunjumol Baby (his mother's sister) and P Baby at Thattarambalam. Family members said that Adam used to call Kunjumol and Baby daily. On September 30, he didn't call, and the family was worried. Repeated calls to his number went unanswered. The family members also rang up Adam in Berlin, and a missing complaint was filed.
