‘Honour’ killing by wife’s father, uncle allegedA young man was hacked to death allegedly by his wife’s father and uncle, citing ‘pride and honour’ of the family, at Thenkurissi near here on Friday, the Christmas day. The attackers reportedly came on a motorbike, hit Aneesh with an iron rod, and hacked him with a long blade. The police arrested Aneesh’s father-in-law Prabhu Kumar and wife’s uncle Suresh in connection with the murder. The Kerala State Youth Commission (KSYC) has registered a case and sought a report from the District Police Chief. The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), demanding stern action to prevent recurrence of honour killings, described the incident as a shame on the civilised Kerala society.
