INDIAVISION CRIME INVESTIGATION special thanks :- ****BIJU B NAIR- PREAMKUMAR-JUSTIN JOSEPH & JOSEKUTTY*** BIBIN KATTAPPNA {Millan}as Antony. ----Aluva murder case: High Court confirms death sentence Staff Reporter Kochi: A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court confirmed on Monday the death sentence awarded to Antony for murdering six members of a family in Aluva, near here. The Bench, comprising Chief Justice V.K. Bali and Justice M. Ramachandran, dismissed an appeal filed by him to reduce the sentence awarded by the lower court. Augustine, a 48-year-old businessman; his wife, Mary, 42; son Jesmon, 12; daughter Divya, 14; mother Clara, 74; and sister Kochurani, 37, were found murdered on January 6, 2001. According to the prosecution, Antony wanted Rs. 62,000 to buy a visa for travelling to Damam. To raise the money, he committed the murders. He was a regular visitor to family. The case was earlier investigated by the Crime Branch. The Central Bureau of Investigation, which took over the investigation on a High Court directive, endorsed the conclusions of the police. The Bench said that though the confessions made to the jail wardens could not be proved, the other circumstances conclusively proved had led to an irresistible conclusion that the accused alone had committed the crime. The combined effects of the proved circumstances taken together had established the guilt of the appellant. The court noted that he was present in the house of the dead at the relevant time in the intervening night of January 6 and 7, 2001. He was absent from his home at night. The prosecution further proved that the blood-stained fingerprint taken from the scene of occurrence had matched that of the appellant, which also established that the accused had committed the crime. The proof of a fingerprint impression on the left doorpost smeared with blood lent credence to the prosecution case. The judges said, "We have reconsidered and reconsidered every aspect of the case. On every reconsideration, our view got more and more strengthened that in the present case, death penalty has to be imposed. It was indeed a rarest of rare cases." Joseph case A Division Bench orally directed the State Government to inform the court about the action taken on the report of inquiry conducted into the allegation that the former Public Works Minister P.J. Joseph had outraged the modesty of a woman passenger on board a flight. The Bench of Chief Justice V.K. Bali and Justice M. Ramachandran issued the direction while adjourning to Tuesday the hearing on a writ petition. The writ petition sought a direction to the State Government and Director-General of Police to register a criminal case against the former Minister. Filed by Simmy Rosebell John, secretary, Mahila Congress, the petition also sought to restrain the State Government from taking any steps to conduct a judicial inquiry into the allegation. When the petition came up, the Advocate-General submitted that the victim had informed Inspector-General of Police B. Sandhya, who conducted a preliminary investigation into the allegation, that she did not want to register any crime. Contesting the argument, counsel for the petitioner handed over a letter received from the victim to the court. The letter said that she would like to have an investigation in the case after registering a crime. Committee report Justice Siri Jagan admitted a writ petition seeking a direction to the State Government to implement the recommendations of the Admission Supervisory Committee headed by former High Court judge P.A. Mohammed. The petition was filed by Depasree Sukumar.----+
