Further probe ordered into Kerala’s family suicide case
June 20th, 2011 - 5:42 pm ICT by IANSKochi, June 20 (IANS) The special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court here Monday ordered the agency to conduct a further probe into the Kaviyoor suicide case where five members of a family were found dead in their home in 2004.
The order was based on a petition by T.P. Nandakumar citing that the earlier investigation did not look into the sexual exploitation of a minor girl in the family.
He also contended that the CBI had not investigated the report that the details of the suicide were written by a close friend of the minor girl to a high court judge.
The incident, which took place in September 2004 near Thiruvalla in central Kerala, hit the headlines then because the dead included a 14-year-old girl who was allegedly sexually exploited by many after one of their family friends promised her roles in films and TV serials.
The minor Brahmin girl along with her sister, brother, mother and father committed suicide.
The CBI team has been asked to complete the probe in three months time and the case has been posted for October.
The CBI had identified Latha Nair, who allegedly promised the girl film offers, as the cause for the mass suicide and the case was written off without further inquiries.
Nandakumar, who edits a crime magazine, had then said there was more to the suicide of the family and that the letter written by the girl’s friend allegedly named the sons of two former Left Front ministers.
