A court under the Central Bureau of Investigation announced their verdict in the murder case of Catholic nun Sister Abhaya on Tuesday. The special court pronounced two accused, Father Thomas Kottoor and Sister Stephy, as guilty.
Sister Abhaya, a resident of Pius X convent in Kottayam in Kerala, was found dead in the well of the convent on March 27, 1992. Initially, the Crime Branch and CBI deemed the death a suicide but activist Joemon Puthenpurackal formed an Action Council and was pursuing the case.
The turnaround happened after Puthenpurackal, managed to get the case reopenedand and following this, the CBI cracked it. On November 19, 2008, the CBI arrested the three accused, who included Poothrikkayil, a former Malayalam professor at the Kottayam college where Abhaya studied; Kottor, the Diocesan chancellor of the Catholic Church at Kottayam and Seffi, a resident of the convent when the incident took place.
