Funds to criminals under lens The Crime Branch has launched a probe into the role of an evangelist group in raising funds for Govindachamy, who has been found guilty in the Soumya murder case. Govindachamy is reportedly a member of Akasha Paravakal, an evangelist group, and had converted to Christianity taking the name of Charley Thomas. When he was arrested, Govindachamy initially identified himself as Charley. The Salem native raped Soumya, a mall employee travelling in the Shornur Express, after pushing her out of the running train in February this year. She died five days later. The Thrissur fast-track court termed him guilty this week. Investigators had found that Govindachamy, who used to beg for alms in trains, had lakhs of rupees in his bank account. The CB team is also probing whether Govinda- chamy had links with the beggar mafia of South India. The CB initated a probe after Govindachamys counsel, Mr Aloor, revealed that he was paid `10 lakh for appearing in the case. Sentence in Soumya case is unlikely to be pronounced on Friday as the prosecution proposes to produce two fingerprint experts from Tamil Nadu police to prove that the accused is a habitual offender. The Thrissur fast-track court had found him guilty.

The judge also slapped a fine of Rs 100,000 to Charly. The man from Tamil Nadu was found guilty of rape and murder of Soumya, a 23-year-old woman, who he pushed out of a running train in February this year. The case was that Charly Thomas had assaulted her in the ladies compartment of Kochi-Shornur passenger train on February 1 and pushed her out immediately after it left Vallathol Nagar railway station. She was on way to her home near Shornur after attending office at Ernakulam. Charly Thomas was arrested on February 3 from Palakaad. Soumya succumbed to her injuries at Thrissur Medical College Hospital on February 6. Soumya murder case: Accused gets death sentence A fast track court in Thrissur, Kerala on Friday awarded death sentence to a man from Tamil Nadu for raping and murdering a 23-year-old woman, whom he pushed out of a running train in February. Pronouncing the sentence, Judge Raveendra Babu said 30-year-old Govindachamy had committed the offences in a "diabolic manner" and did not deserve any leniency. The victim was raped in a "brutal" and "cruel" manner, the judge said while awarding the death sentence and imposing Rs one lakh fine on him, besides sentencing the accused to varying terms of rigorous imprisonment under different sections of the IPC. On October 31, the court had found Govindachamy guilty of offences under IPC sections 302 (murder), 376 (rape), 394 (person voluntarily causing hurt in committing or attempting to commit robbery), 397 (robbery or dacoity, with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt) and 447 (criminal trespass). According to the prosecution, Govindachamy had assaulted the Soumya in a deserted ladies compartment and pushed her out of the train,

immediately after it left Vallathol Nagar station on February 1. He then carried her to a deserted spot on the rail tracks and raped her "cruelly and brutally". The accused had also injured her seriously resulting in her death on February 6. Pressing for maximum punishment, prosecution had submitted that the accused was a "habitual offender" and produced documentary evidence to show that he had been convicted in eight cases in Tamil Nadu from 2004 to 2008. Welcoming the verdict, Kerala Chief Minister Oomen Chandy told rediff.com: "It is a good verdict. I have announced special awards to the advocates and the dedicated police officials who worked on the case." State Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes Minister P K Jayalakshmi said: "The fast track court has given the verdict the Govindachamy, the accused, deserves. Kerala society should be aware of such persons, who had shown no mercy to a hapless woman." Reacting to the fast-track court's verdict, Soumya's mother Sumathy and her brother Santhosh thanked the advocates and the policemen and hoped that such an incident should never happen to any girl in the state again. Dr Unmesh, who had tampered with the forensic evidence from the body of Soumya and who had leaked the report to the media, was suspended by state Health Minister Adoor Prakash after the verdict. http://www.rediff.com/news/report/soumya-murder-case-accused-getsdeath-sentence/20111111.htm . . . . . . .
