Key Takeaways

  • Mohammed confesses to murders committed at 14
  • Victim identified after 40 years, case reopened
  • Year-long investigation confirms chilling details

This story from Kerala is just something else ah . man just walks into police station after nearly 40 years and says he is murderer . It is unbelievable.

This person,Mohammed,a 55-year-old from Koodaranji,went to police on June 2 . And he just told them, “I have killed two people. Arrest me.” Can you even imagine being the officer hearing that?

At first,police were obviously very skeptical . Who wouldn't be? But they started looking into it and soon realized Mohammed's story was not some fantasy. His confession actually started solving a mystery that was buried for decades.

And tbh,this is where things get really heavy . Police confirmed one of the victims was man named Mohanan from Kannur district's Iritty area . He was apparently killed back in November 1986 . For so long,his case was just another cold file.

Few key things to note here:

  • Mohammed's confession was only thing that helped police identify Mohanan .
  • It took almost a year,nearly 11 months,of digging through old documents and missing-person records to confirm everything.
  • Mohammed apparently expressed huge relief when Mohanan was identified,showing how much guilt he was carrying .

And that feeling of relief is what's so strange about this whole situation . He said,“It was a grave mistake committed at an age when I lacked maturity and understanding.” He also said he is ready for any punishment .

But his own family,including his brother,initially dismissed his claims . They thought he was having some mental health problems or something. Now police findings have proved him right,and everyone must be in shock.

This whole investigation was a massive effort for the police . Going back 40 years,checking missing person files,all based on one man's word . They had to reconstruct the entire event from scratch.

It’s just wild to think about a secret being kept for four decades . All those years,he was living normal life,while carrying this burden.

And he said he killed two people . Police have only identified Mohanan so far. So there is still another person,another family out there who doesn't have answers yet… makes you wonder what finally made him speak up after all this time.
