MYSURU: The Ireland police, who are investigating the suspected murder of Seema Banu and her two kids in South Dublin, have contacted her parents in Bettadapura in Mysuru district.
The investigating officer spoke to her father and two other relatives and collected details. The Indian embassy officials have also called the parents and assured them of all help. The officials said they are trying to get in touch with Seema’s husband Sameer.
Meanwhile, the local police are probing the incident. Local media reports suggest that phone location data may play a crucial role in solving the case. They also reported that the post-mortem report of Seema is inconclusive although her children’s death have been classified as murder. Media reports stated that forensic experts visited the crime spot and police are trying to retrieve CCTV visuals.
“The investigating officer spoke to the family — Seema’s father and two others. Parents gave them the information they sought. Officials of the Indian embassy are also in touch with the parents. They informed the family that they are trying to reach out to Seema’s husband Syed Sameer. They too have promised help,” said Masood, a family friend.
The family also decided to appeal to the Mysuru MP Pratap Simha seeking his help to bring back the mortal remains. Meanwhile, Mysuru police continued to pursue the matter. “We are in touch with the family of deceased Seema Banu,” said SP C B Rishyanth.
Seema, 37, and her two children — Asfira Riza, 11, and Faizan Syed, 6 — were found murdered at their home in Dublin, months after the family moved to Ireland.
