Two persons were killed after a speeding car rammed into a container truck near Pattazhimukku along the Kayamkulam-Punalur road late on Thursday.
The deceased have been identified as Anooja Ravindran, 37, of Nooranad, and Hashim, 32, of Charumoodu. The accident took place around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday
According to the police, Ms. Ravindran, a teacher at GHSS Tumpamon North, was returning home after a trip with fellow teachers to Thiruvananthapuram, when Hashim waylaid their vehicle near Enathu and forced her to get into his car. Although she had introduced him as her cousin, her colleagues grew suspicious of their behaviour and alerted the Adoor police as well as the woman’s relatives about the incident.
