Despite her wounds and the kitchen crime scene, no one was brought to court over Sister Abhaya's murder for 27 years. She went to the ground floor kitchen to fetch some water and it was there prosecutors said she found Father Thomas Kottoor and Sister Sephy performing a sex act. Father Thomas Kottoor was arrested in 2008, 16 years after Sister Abhaya's body was found in a well. Sister Abhaya's parents died in 2015, before their daughters' attackers were brought to justice. "I just wish my parents could have been here to see it happen," said Thomas, Sister Abhaya's brother.
