KOCHI: The Special Investigation Team probing murder of Jisha, the dalit LLB student in Kuruppampady near Perumbavoor, has inspected an abandoned house near the residence of the victim on Sunday. The probe team has inspected the house on the suspicion that the assailant might have used the place, located around 100 metres away from the house of the victim, for hiding after committing the crime.
Sources said inspection has not yielded any concrete proof to back the suspicion. The building was in a dilapidated condition with broken tiles and open doors. The probe team also conducted physical examination of a slew of workers from other states on Sunday. The physical examination was held at the traffic police station in Perumbavoor, sources said. The purpose was generally to find out if any of them are carrying an injury mark in their body that would give a clue to the accused in the case, source said.
Police examined migrant workers who were believed to have been employed in the vicinity of the Jisha’s house. The probe team is also planning to question the mother and sister of Jisha in coming days seeking clarifications in connection with the statements given by them to the probe team earlier, sources said.
