The incident was initially reported as a road accident, but took a dark turn with the emergence of eyewitnesses and other accounts.
The fatal collision that claimed the lives of two at Pattazhimukku in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district on Thursday, 28 March, may have begun as a “quarrel”, police said. The incident occurred when a speeding car rammed into a truck. Hashim (31) of Charummoodu, and Anuja (38) of Kayamkulam lost their lives. Police are exploring all angles, including suicide.
