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.
