Have you heard about the 'Koodathayi Cyanide Murders' It happened in a small town koodathayi in Kerala ,India It is a series of six murders of the members of the same family over 17 years, between 2006 to 2016. The housewife did all these murders by poisoning their foods with Cyanide to acquire all their family properties. The police arrested the woman Jolly Ponnamatton and two others for the charge of 6 murders. The accused did meticulous planning and safely concealed their deaths. After the death of all the members she later married relative's widower whom she liked alot. The series of murders by her: Annamma Thomas(2002): the mother in law, family considered it as a natural death due to age related issues Tom Thomas(2002):The father in law, died due to heart failure. Roy Thomas (2011):died due to heart failure but autopsy results showed poisoning. Mathew Manjadiyil(2014): MIL's brother died due to cardiac arrest. Alphonsa(2016):aged 2, relative's daughter died due to heart failure. Sili(2016): Relative's wife, died due to heart attack. Meanwhile, Jolly who was Roy's widow married Shaju who was silli's widower Shaju and claimed all the properties on the basis of The claims signed by The FIL before death. Roy's uncle challenged the owner claim and the investigation started, the members bodies where sent for testing to check the traces of poison, Jolly and Shaju were interrogated by the police 8 times but they didn't utter a word. Further investigation revealed that Jolly a commerce graduate acquired a fake engineering degree and was working in a NIT as a professor. After checking their call records the police found the two being in constant touch during odd hours and they found the one who supplied Cyanide to Jolly, in fact he is the one who told the police the truth after a strict interrogation

@ThatDisha There's been a programme on in the UK after Homes Under the Hammer called Murder, Mystery and My Family where the descendents of people who were tried, convicted and most often hanged for murder, go back over the case and try and prove that their ancestors were innocent and get justice for them years later. Sometimes it works but sometimes the judge rules that the conviction was sound.

I did hear about this case but didn't know so much of details. All cold blooded murder just for some money. How can one be so heartless to kill people in family including a two year old.

@ThatDisha Money is a big culprit. It's the reason for most of the wrongdoings

Please don't take this as gender discrimination, but women are always better in everything when it comes to love, loyalty, cheating and even a lie. It's always hard to catch a woman. Men gets caught very easily. I heard of this case long back. What made you write this discussion? Is there any latest update on the case.?

Actually the murder was done in a span of around 14 years starting from 2002,consuming cyanide in mutton soup and the series continued till 2016. It's all for just some money
