Periya twin murder: HC orders to produce case diary

Kochi: The Kerala High court on Monday ordered the Crime Branch to produce the case diary prepared in the murder of two Youth Congress workers in Periya, Kasargod.

While hearing the bail petition filed by second accused Saji C George, of Pullur, ninth accused Murali, of Thannithode and tenth accused T Ranjith alias Appu. Senior Government Pleader Suman Chakravarthy submitted that the accused were involved in the brutal murder of the youths.

When the counsel for the petitioners argued that they were falsely implicated in the case, the court replied that contention was not convincing as the police of the ruling party had arrested CPM workers. The court will hear the case on Tuesday.
