Kannur: Shanu Chacko, the main accused in the death of Kevin P. Joseph, and his father Chacko John surrendered before the police at Karikottakari police station near Iritty here on Tuesday after moving anticipatory bail petitions in the High Court. They were absconding since the abduction of Kevin and his subsequent death. According to police sources, both might have reached the station through Karnataka which is close to Karikottakari border. Their arrest was recorded and both were taken to Kottayam.
The car in which the duo travelled was also taken into custody. Shanu and Chacko had planned to flee to Bengaluru but the strong police surveillance forced them to surrender. The SHO said that a detailed interrogation of the arrested was needed to know the conspiracy behind the entire episode.
