Over a month after 30-year-old Jisha was raped and murdered at her house at Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district, Kerala Police has detained one more suspect.
The suspect is a migrant worker and hails from Assam. Police sources say Jisha had thwarted a sexual advance from the suspect earlier on the same day when she was raped and murdered.
Police had earlier identified 3 suspects in the case. While two suspects are neighbours of the victim, one suspect is believed to be a close relative.
The post-mortem report of Kerala Dalit law student had revealed that there were at least 38 injuries on her body, including bite marks. The cause of death is strangulation and internal injuries, the report added.
According to police, the 30-year-old woman, hailing from a poor family, was raped and brutally assaulted using sharp-edged weapons before being murdered at her house at Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district on April 28.
She was found dead in a pool of blood at her one room home at 8 PM on the same day by her mother when she returned from work.
The Kerala government has formed a 20-member team to probe the case.
