Afan Carried Out the Killings with Precise Planning
Police investigations have revealed that Afan meticulously planned and executed the brutal killings, committing five murders within six hours. The first attack took place around 10:00 AM when Afan assaulted his mother after she refused to give him money. A few hours later, at 1:15 PM, he turned on his 88-year-old grandmother, Salma Beevi, attacking her and stealing her gold jewelry.
After reaching Venjaramoodu, Afan received a call from Latheef, his uncle, which led him to suspect that Latheef had figured out his crimes. Fearing exposure, he decided to eliminate him. Upon reaching Latheef’s house, Afan also murdered Latheef’s wife, Shahida. Both were found with fatal head injuries inflicted by a hammer.
By 4:00 PM, Afan lured his girlfriend, Farsana, to his home in Perumala and killed her as well. The final murder took place when his younger brother, Afsan, returned home after an exam and asked for their mother. Afan led him inside and bludgeoned him to death with the hammer. After carrying out the killings, Afan left the hammer at home, took a bath, changed his clothes, and calmly surrendered at the police station, claiming that financial distress led him to commit the crimes.
