Athirampuzha murder Police inspect the house of Basheer where Aswathi was murdered.

Kottayam: The police team investigating the brutal murder of a pregnant woman at Athirampuzha has said that the victim’s body had been kept in an air-conditioned room for a day by the murderer for disposal later.

According to the police, Aswathi was murdered around 10.30 pm on July 30, but the body was abandoned on the wayside of the rubber plantation at the night of the following day.

The police collected blood samples and fingerprints from the residence and car of the accused, identified as Basheer alias Khader Yousaf of Erattupetta, who resides at Nalpathimala in Athirampuzha panchayat.

Forensic experts were also able to collect hair samples, suspected to be of the victim, from the car. The police believe that the clothes worn by the victim could have been destroyed by the accused.

The police, along with a technical team, inspected Basheer’s house and conducted a detailed inquiry on Friday. They lifted fingerprint samples of both the accused and the victim from the scene.

The team comprised forensic expert Priya Mary Chacko, fingerprint inspectors K. R. Shailaja, Jose T. Philip, Johnsy Joseph, and searcher Sreeja S. Nair.

They also inspected the table against which the accused allegedly banged the victim’s head. After the crime, he even cleaned the room and removed bloodstains from the table, the police said.

DySP Gireesh P. Sarathy, CI C.J. Martin and SI Anoop Jose oversaw the proceedings.
