KOCHI: The identification parade of the 23-year-old Ameerul Islam, the suspect in the rape and murder of Jisha, the Dalit LLB student at Kuruppampady near Perumbavoor, is likely to be held on Monday. Shibu Daniel, Judicial First Class Magistrate of Kunnu-mpuram will conduct the parade inside the Kakkanad district jail.
The legal formalities linked to conduct identification were handed over to the jail officials. Summons directing the witnesses to attend for the examination have been also served, officials said. The probe team has arranged nearly 10 other migrant workers to be lined up along with the accused during the parade.
The witnesses comprised those who said to have seen the accused emerging out of the victim’s house on that day, the shop owner who sold the sandals to the accused and others.
The investigation team probing the case has been busy in collecting fresh evidences connected with the gruesome rape and murder of the 30-year-old girl inside her house on April 28. A team dispatched to Assam to question Anarul, a friend of Ameerul, has traced him on Sunday, sources said. The probe team suspects that Anarul was present in Perumbavoor on the day of the murder and left for his village soon after the incident.
The probe team hopes to gather details that led to the murder by questioning Anarul. Officials however declined to comment whether this person was having any direct link with the murder. The police team in Assam will also conduct a detailed interrogation of the close relatives and friends of Ameerul in his home village in Assam.
