Three Kerala natives have been detained for questioning in a case of recent break- in and murder of a security guard of a bungalow at Kodanadu Estate, often visited late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. The estate figures in the disproportionate assets case involving jailed AIADMK general secretary V K Sasikala and Jayalalithaa, among others. The trio - Satishan from Pudukkad, Shibu from Kodakara and Santosh from Vellakulangara near Thrissur, were taken into custody based on CCTV footage and their stay at a cottage in Kothagiri a day before the murder on April 24, police said. They said the CCTV footage shows the trio moving in a car in the area. (This article has not been edited by DNA's editorial team and is auto-generated from an agency feed.)
