Two Ex-Soldiers Arrested After 19 Years for Kerala Triple Murder

The men are accused of killing a woman and her newborn twins in 2006 over a paternity dispute and evading capture for nearly two decades.

  • The 2006 murders of 24-year-old Ranjini and her 17-day-old twin daughters in Kerala were linked to a paternity dispute involving ex-soldier Dibil Kumar B.
  • Kumar, fearing a court-ordered paternity test, allegedly conspired with fellow soldier Rajesh P to carry out the killings.
  • The two men deserted the Army shortly after the crime and lived under fake identities in Puducherry, where they married and started families.
  • The case was handed over to the CBI in 2010, but the suspects evaded capture until a recent tip-off led to their arrests by the CBI's Chennai unit.
  • The accused were presented in court and remanded in custody, with further investigation ongoing into one of Kerala's most chilling murder cases.
