Kochi: Two suspects have been taken into custody by the Kerala police in connection with the rape and brutal murder of a 30-year-old Dalit law student near Perumbavoor even as Chief Minister Oommen Chandy described the crime as “shocking” and said the culprits will be brought to book. Police said the two were taken into custody and were being questioned by a police team, headed by Ernakulam Range IG Mahipal Yadav. However, it was not yet known whether they are the real culprits. No details of the ongoing investigation has been revealed by police. Police said the post-mortem report revealed that the woman was subjected to rape and brutal assault using sharp edged weapons before being murdered at her house on April 28.

 
The girl had completed her LLB despite hailing from a poor family. Her house was built in a two-cent ‘purambokku’ land and her father had abandoned her when she was a child. She was brutally raped and murdered on the lines of the Nirbhaya case. She was found dead in a pool of blood at 8 pm that day by her mother when she reached home from work. Her distraught mother, who was bedridden after the incident, has now been hospitalised. “Kerala is shocked by the brutal murder of a young woman. The culprits will be brought to book and the severest punishment will be ensured to those who involved into the incident,” Chandy said. It is the first such incident to be reported in the state.
