Kottayam: Even before a court convicted Anushanthi and her accomplice Nino Mathew of the brutal Attingal twin murder, repulsing details of the crime started circulating through the media. Anushanthi found herself at the centre of a gory drama when she was accused of planning the murders of her daughter, husband and mother-in-law in association with her secret lover. Her husband, Lijish, survived an attempt on his life but he lost his little daughter and aged mother.
The police version definitely leaves some room for doubt in the mind of a common man. Onmanorama lists out a few unanswered questions in the Attingal double murder case.
Anushanthi has been silenced by the government, the police, the media and society after the Attingal murders and the subsequent police version as reported by the media. Don’t you think she has something to say? Some questions are lost between the evidence recovered by the police and the confession of Nino Mathew.
Did Anushanthi decide to eliminate her family to live with Nino Mathew for the rest of her life? What on earth prompted her to believe that she could live happily after murdering three people?
If the lovers really thought that they could get away with murder in broad daylight, destroy evidence and live together for the rest of their lives, they must surely be retarded. It is an unlikely possibility that the couple, who work in Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram, are retarded.
If they had really conspired to kill three people, would they have texted each other from their own numbers?
How come two IT professionals did not know that digital evidence, including phone call details, could frame them? Why would they call and text each other before the murders.
What makes them think that they could live together after murdering Anushanthi’s family, especially after their illegitimate affair was publicised among the family and neighbourhood.
Apparently, Anushanthi’s husband allowed her to go and live with her lover. Then why did they choose to go on a killing spree that was not required?
What if Anushanthi had made a genuine attempt to rebuild her family after breaking up with Nino Mathew? Did that break-up make Nino Mathew mad?
What if the murders were the result of a love-struck man’s desperation?
What if he deliberately send the message to Anushanthi to get her involved in the case somehow? Is she being framed for that?
