The incident came to light on November 17 when Abraham’s daughter, residing in Canada, reported her mother's unresponsiveness to phone calls. Concerned about her mother's safety, she contacted the police, who subsequently broke into the apartment. They found Abraham dead in the bathroom, with multiple injuries evident on her body. Two gold bangers and her mobile phones were also missing.
An autopsy confirmed that Abraham had died due to multiple injuries, raising suspicions that her death was not a natural one. The police immediately launched an investigation. One of the first leads came from CCTV footage, which showed a person arriving and leaving the apartment wearing a helmet. The individual was also seen wearing different colored shirts, which provided a crucial clue.
The police soon identified Gireesh Babu, a friend of Abraham, who frequently visited her apartment. It was during these visits that Babu met and developed a close relationship with Khateeja. Babu, who worked at an IT firm, was reportedly in significant debt. When questioned, Babu admitted that he believed Abraham, being a real estate broker, would have a substantial amount of money.
According to the police, Babu’s plan was carefully orchestrated. On the day of the murder, he arrived at Abraham’s apartment, and after having drinks with her, he attacked her using a dumbbell while she was lying on her bed. After severely injuring her, he dragged her to the bathroom, left her there, and fled the scene.
The police noted that the crime had been pre-planned, with a trial run conducted to ensure the operation went smoothly. The investigation team is expected to bring the two accused back to the apartment to gather further evidence.
This case highlights the dangers of premeditated crimes and the importance of thorough police investigations. The community in Kochi is in shock, and the police are working diligently to bring closure to the victim's family.
