Uthra murder: Officials gather key evidence

Kollam: Forest department officials who interrogated Sooraj and Suresh, the accused in the Uthra murder case, have collected crucial evidence. On May 24 the forest team had raided the house of Suresh of Kalluvathukkal and seized a cobra.
He told officials that the snake was caught from the house premises of Radhakrishnan, an Elamkulam native. Later, Radhakrishnan and his neighbours had identified Suresh.
On admission that he caught a viper from the house plot of Karthikeyan of Sasthri Mukku, Kalluvathukkal, the investigation team gathered evidence from there too. Based on these, two fresh cases were registered against them.
They brought the accused to Chathannur SBI where Suresh conspired with Sooraj to hand over the snake. Another case was charged for conspiracy.
