Case No. RC 8(S)/93 (Sister Abhaya Case-1992). The CBI took over the case on March 29, 2003, and filed three closure reports, saying though it was a case of murder, the suspects could not be found. The High Court refused to accept the report and asked the probe agency to further investigate.

Father Thomas M Kottoor and Father Jose Puthrukkayil and Sister Sephy, were arrested by the CBI's Special Crime unit on Wednesday. The suspects were presented to court today. Sister Abey was seen crying... Angry mob were calling "CBI ki Jai"...
They have been remanded for 14 days(till Dec 2) for custodial interrogation. No mental or physical torture should be happen and medical assistance should be provided.
CBI says "We have evidence. Let's not talk about it now. We will do our best. Please allow us to investigate some more time. We have best of team . Don't write something which is wrong. We will inform the developments. We will complete the case as soon as possible. If we say something now accuse will try to cover up."
Jomon Puthenpurackal said "KM Maani tried to destroy the case throughout the investigation". KM Mani was elected to the Kerala Legislative Assembly for the first time in 1965 from Pala. Since then he has won all the ten elections that followed in 1965, 1967, 1970, 1977, 1980, 1982, 1987, 1991, 1996 and 2001.
Kottayam Athiroopatha released a statement that CBI is trying to save their face.
The CBI does not take up investigation of conventional crimes like murder, theft, robbery etc unless directed by the Supreme Court/High Courts or referred by State Governments. Public interest in the case was re-ignited in April last year after a newspaper reported that Abhaya's medical reports were tampered with at a chemical laboratory in state capital Thiruvananthapuram.

Kottoor has been teaching in Sister. Abhaya's college during her predegree studies.
All institutions are alike, whether it is political, religious or commercial including news medea. They mutually support to further their cause since everybody who is in top of the hirearchy knows that the followers or in general the common men can always be brain washed by their propoganda and misinformation and by creating confusion. Ironically the arrested persons knew well that they hurted the pious diety and did not trust them that is why their advocates are all "heathen". Also as every wise men know, religion is just a tool for atheist to use 'poor'people and all the three in their heart are atheist though they pretend contrary not only for just living but to live in 'rich'. Many tried their best, includiong K M Mani who survives by 'condescending' and there by having a large 'followers'.But there are always some spirited people, who are demoralised by instituionlism, who eventually manage to penetrate through them.
I also want to say another aspect of this case which non catholics rarely understand. The celibacy of nuns and priests and their pious living is way different from other religious order that is why the top brass of the diocese tried their best to coverup this case, which in a different prespective is just a common killing. Also the cause for the killing is trivial: witnessing a sexcapades which is way too common and not worth mentioning in a general prespective but very imporatant and 'relegiously prohibited' that forced the trio to kill the witness.
Oh yes K M Mani is a big time Fraud. Any political wing which stems and moots for religion and minority stuffs are fraud in general. The number of parties with clear ideologies and principles are very few. Most of the parties are power hungry. KM Mani is well known for protecting and muscle pulling in the name of roman catholics. He had the perfect ally in UDF which always had a sympathy for the Vatican. Well, we must admit that Christian missionaries have done wonders to education sector in Kerala and many other places, but at the same time, these institutions of religious upholdings like seminary are not odour free. Inside the white dress they are (large majority of them) are callous and greedy. It is a perception, sadly wrong, to the world that they are trustworthy and clean.
I hope the case is proved and the accused punished. It is important that a supreme punishment is given to send a stronger message to the elite. It is pity that a poor girl, from an economically backward family had to pay the innocent life to satisfy the ego of the so called messengers of piece. Shame all these religious institutions. They, including church should have taken a stronger stand to state that, listen we cant tolerate this. Instead of covering the case and face they should have helped the investigation to improve the credibility of such institutions to the followers.
Now the management frauds within christian and other religious wings in Kerala are there. Their colour also must come out. They have made a big business out of education. When the government come out with a plan they are out with tails up. Shame.
I think CBI has got enough proof against this trio. I am wondering still sabha is supporting these criminals. The victim is also from the same religion. The difference is, her family is poor. All beleivers should question the sabha regarding the steps they have taken to support the criminals. If they helped the law ,in 1993,to find out the people
who were behind the case,sabha could save their image. Now they are in an awkward position. Dont forget GOD is there to watch all these.
What the problem here with the christian church is that,it has a vast majority of believers which believe that all its clergymen is never sin and that they are a bit above the layman or common man.And these clergymen try to utilize this belief to save them from the law and to cover up their sins.Infact the top christian political leaders had used their influence for them.We should be clever to understand this.Still the top officials of the Kerala Catholic church stick on the allegations that ’some powers’ and CBI are trying to sack the ‘poor priests’ a ‘poor nun’!! As a catholic I am really ashamed to see and hear all these because THEY REALLY KNOW THESE CLERGYMEN R THE REAL CULPRITS’!!!Why do they try to cover up the TRUTH they preach and MISLEAD the PUBLIC? As the High court said In the GOD’S court they will be convicted…GOD Please do not forgive them since ” They know what they are doing”…
WHY STILL STEFFY IN HER RELIGIOUS DRESS. WHY DID THEY HIT THE SISTER ABHAY AT NIGHT AND KILLED.
THE HEADS OF THE CHURCHS BEWARE OF THE CULPRITS AND THROW THEM OUT OF THE CHURCH.
throwing should start from the top,i don't understand that still all this people are praying for suspects,majority of people lost there believings in the church and who leads them,but not in the god.
I agreed the comment about K M Mani is a fraud.
Not only that why Caholic Sabha trying to protect the accused? If they commit murder, they have to be punished. It is shameful to pray for them in chuches. 'The Sabha' must be kept nutral. Otherwise the repurcusions may be crucial.
As christian I am ashamed to say that the church is behaving disgracefully here, should they not wait until this case has been heard before claiming innocence, or do they know that they will be found guilty!!
Why are they not showing the same vigour in finding the guilty?
