Girl, 13, and 3 Minor Boys Detained for Murder of Her Grandfather in Alappuzha
Police say the four minors plotted the killing to steal gold and cash for a phone and motorbike, and all have been taken into custody.
- On Tuesday, Kerala police apprehended a 13-year-old girl and three teenage boys for murdering 67-year-old Sivankutty Chettiyar at his home in Karuvatta, Alappuzha.
- Investigators allege the girl orchestrated the plot, guiding the boys via video call to steal gold and jewelry while also exploring a revenge motive regarding her alleged report of 'bad touch' by Chettiyar.
- Police discovered the victim's hands and legs tied with bedsheets and clothing; the scene's disarray in only one room shifted focus from outsider burglary to an internal family plot.
- All four accused—the girl, her boyfriend, and two friends from Paravur—are minors and will face legal proceedings before the Juvenile Justice Board under the Juvenile Justice Act.
- Alappuzha District Police Chief Vishnu Pratheep noted the accused attempted to mislead officers by scattering chili powder at the scene; questioning continues to establish the full sequence of events.
