In a shocking incident, a Muslim man aged 60 was arrested by Kerala Police for raping, impregnating and killing a differently-abled Christian woman in Kerala’s Wayanad.
The incident happened in the year 2021 since then police was in search of the accused. Rini, daughter of Pallikkal Devasya from Moolithodu parish and Mary, died on November 20, 2021. Back then, she was 5 months pregnant. According to police, the lab report showed that Rahim, the unborn child’s father, had poisoned Rini.
Rini’s father and sister are undergoing treatment for mental issues. Rahim, who is their neighbour, understood that the family was in poverty and decided to take advantage of the girl. Rini had been married once but was facing a divorce case in court. Rahim is an auto driver who used to take her to court. Using it as a pretext, he took Rini to Kozhikode and raped her on several occasions.
Allegedly, he killed her knowing fully well that she was pregnant but it is unclear what the immediate trigger was to poison her soft drinks. After murdering her, he went into hiding. Mananthavady police finally caught him from Ervadi in Tamil Nadu.
