The priest is the son of late Varghese and Tresiyakutty, of Ramapuram near here.
The clergyman has been living in Yemen for the past four years. He last visited Kerala in 2014 September to attend his mother's funeral. He was to visit again earlier this year in January but postponed it as he had some works related to the construction of a church in Yemen.
