3,uthara murder case
Uthra, a young woman and mother of a one-year-old, died on the 7th of May after being bitten by a snake in her sleep. A few weeks before her death, she had been struck by a viper and was undergoing treatment when the second snakebite took her life.

Her parents found it difficult to believe that a snake had found its way inside a closed, air-conditioned room with tiled flooring and had bitten their daughter. And that too, only a few days after she had been bitten the first time. They filed a case with the Kollam District Police Chief sensing foul play.

The investigations were immediately steered towards Uthra’s husband, Sooraj. The reason for their suspicion on Sooraj was that they knew their daughter was being harassed for dowry by Sooraj and that he had removed her gold from the locker on May 2, a day before her first snakebite

Vannathamveettil Soumya had been remanded and confined in the Kannur Women’s Prison in May on charges of murdering her parents, Kamala (65) and Kunhikannan (80), and her daughter in a span of four months this year. Two separate cases have been charged against Soumya.

In her statement to the police, Soumya said she had killed her daughter after the latter came to know of her illicit affairs. She had initially killed the child and later, her parents. She feigned illness and got admitted to a hospital. The police had then questioned Soumya several times. She stuck to the stance that she had nothing to do with the deaths. However, the police called her bluff after the autopsy report indicated the presence of aluminium phosphide, a component of rat poison, in all the bodies.
