Kerala – In a shocking turn of events, a 23-year-old man walked into a police station on Monday night and made a horrifying confession. “I have killed six people!” he declared, sending shockwaves through the city.
According to police sources, the accused, who reportedly ran a business abroad, claimed financial distress drove him to commit the gruesome crime. He alleged that he had accumulated substantial debt in his business and sought financial assistance from his family, but when his pleas went unheard, he resorted to murder.
A Chilling Confession
The young man admitted to killing his mother, brother, grandmother, two other relatives, and his girlfriend in separate locations across Thiruvananthapuram within a few hours on Monday evening. However, upon initial investigation, the police confirmed five fatalities, with the mother of the accused miraculously surviving the attack. She is currently undergoing treatment in the ICU.
Reports suggest the accused used a combination of sharp weapons and a hammer in his attempt to kill his mother, but she survived the brutal assault. The extent of her injuries remains critical, and authorities are closely monitoring her condition.
Premeditated Murders or a Crime of Passion?
Investigators suspect that the murders were meticulously planned rather than an impulsive act. Police are delving into the accused’s mobile phone records and financial history to verify his claims. Additionally, forensic teams are examining whether drug abuse played any role in the shocking incident.
The accused also stated that he had attempted to end his own life by consuming poison, but medical reports have so far found no traces of any toxic substances in his body. He, too, is currently under medical supervision.
Investigation Underway
Authorities are leaving no stone unturned in this high-profile case. The accused remains in custody as investigators work to piece together the motive and sequence of events.
