FRIDAY, 5:20 PM

In the seashores of Kanniyakumari a couple was walking by holding hands. The place was very beautiful, some boats were fishing in the sea and behind that very big mountains and sun was setting behind the mountains. It was a very beautiful evening. Also, there was no crowd in that beach and the couple were enjoying that moment with their partner.

When they were walking they took photos of everything in their camera. When they were walking her boyfriend suddenly stopped seeing something. His girlfriend who was taking photos asked him: "What happened?"

But for that without saying anything he was seeing something in front of him and pointed out his hands towards that thing and in the next few seconds both of them rushed to that place.

Now the next day that is Saturday after the trip is over, she should have called her elder sister saying that they were safe. But her sister didn't receive any phone call from them. She waited for a while and called her younger sister. But her phone was switched off. Now she called her boyfriend and his mobile phone was also switched off.

The elder sister waited for the whole day and after that she didn't waste anytime. Since she knows that they will call her and it is a red flag. Immediately she went to the police and gave a missing complaint.


FEW DAYS BACK

The name of the couples are Vikash Prabhu and Vaishnavi. Even though they both are college students in PSGCAS of Coimbatore district. 21 years old Vikash is a person who is interested in sports. He will easily connect with all the people. But 20 years old Vaishnavi is shy type and an introvert. Her elder sister and father raised her up after her mother passed away due to heart attack when Vaishnavi was 13 years old. She will not talk with anyone. Since Vikash is her first boyfriend, she was very caring on him. Also this is the first time they went out together in bike.

Vikash had a plan of spending the weekend in Kanniyakumari beach. Even though this Kanniyakumari beach is little away from the city, it was a remote area. Even though there is a village nearby there won't be any crowd like the other beaches. Maximum there will be boats which is used for fishing in the sea. All the boats will come and sell that live fishes in the nearby market. Not only that in the nearby mountains since there are tea plantations, the wind in the beaches will be sweet and nice. Because of this the beach was very famous.

A lot of people will come there as couples and families and camp there. All these were the tourist attractions of the Kanniyakumari beach. Even though there was no crowd in the beach, there will be a lot of happenings in the nearby areas.

Vikash and Vaishnavi who came there to spend their weekend there, before exploring, they went to a place called fishing pier. (Fishing pier means they will park the fishing boat a little inside the sea. So to walk to that boat there will be a wooden pathway above the sea. That is what is called a fishing pier. It is not a tourist attraction.) Even though it is a normal one since it a time of evening sunset, it will be nice to walk and see the view and they decided to go to other place afterwards. 

Both Vikash and Vaishnavi holds their hands and walked towards it.


PRESENT

Since Vikash and Vaishnavi was missing, Vaishnavi's sister and her father gave a complaint to the police Inspector Adhithya. He started the investigation. As a first stage he traced their mobile signals. But he couldn't find their signal. The next day, he went to Kanniyakumari beach.

To the people around there his police team showed the photos of Vikash and Vaishnavi and asked them: "Hey. Whether you saw these couples? Were they fighting? Or else is there anything suspicious and what they were doing?" Like this they asked a lot of question to all the people there.

In the investigation some people saw them and they said: "The couple looked normal, sir. They were not fighting. They were just enjoying their time happily." For the next two days, Adhithya and his team were searching them seriously. But there was no improvement in the investigation. They didn't get any information about Vikash and Vaishnavi.

But everything was until September 3. Because that day a fisherman who was fishing in the sea, saw a dead body floating. It was Vaishnavi's dead body and exactly 2 days later on September 5, in a village nearby the sea a dead body was found and that was Vikash's.

Vikash and Vaishnavi was completely unidentifiable. They should be dead on the day they went missing. Adhithya thought that their body must have been in the seawater from that day. According to their autopsy report, for both of them throughout their body, it was found that in lot of places their bones were fractured. But at that time the doctors couldn't say why the bones were fractured. Whether the bones were fractured since someone beat them or else since their bodies were in the sea for some days, whether the bodies smashed in the rocks due to the waves, they couldn't say clearly.

But Adhithya know that something had happened to them. He thought that Vikash and Vaishnavi might be murdered and started to check all the CCTV footage in the Kanniyakumari beach.

Even in a small clip Adhithya might get an important evidence or what happened to them. So he started to check all the footages. Like Adhithya thought he got an important footage. In that footage Vikash and Vaishnavi was there but without being above the fishing pier. Under that where the boats are anchored both of them were holding hands and walking. In that video footage in that place other than them no one was there. This is the most weird thing.

Since there is nothing around them which is dangerous, and since there is no humans, what might have happened to them. How it looked like means they were willingly staying there. With this footage, Adhithya closed the case.

If you ask whether the police have found the killer means, no they didn't close it like that. From the footages Adhithya got, he thought that it must have been Vikash and Vaishnavi's final moments. In that they were walking alone by holding hands and since no one is around, when they went to play in the sea they must have accidentally drowned. Or else they must have committed suicide. Adhithya closed the case by saying this. 

But Vikash and Vaishnavi's family denied it completely. Even though they couldn't do anything. Since police closed this case. After that no one came forward to find what happened to Vikash and Vaishnavi. But everything was until September 26.


FOUR WEEKS LATER

After the death of Vikash and Vaishnavi exactly four weeks later, the place where their bodies were found, exactly in the same area two more bodies of a girls were found. There were a lot of similarities between the girl's bodies and

Vikash and Vaishnavi's bodies. The age of these two girls was also between 20 to 25. They also came to visit the Kanniyakumari beach and most importantly, their autopsy report matched with Vikash and Vaishnavi's autopsy report.

"Their bones were also fractured in lots of places" said the report. The police became alert and it made to start a big investigation about what was happening in Kanniyakumari beach. To find out what was happening in the beach a separate detective Sukii Vardhan was appointed. He and his team started to recheck all the evidence on this case from the start.

When Sukii was checking all the evidence and video footages, with one of the pictures he cracked the case. On the day of the incident Vikash and Vaishnavi in that Kanniyakumari beach, when they were walking near the fishing pier by holding hands, Vikash suddenly stopped seeing something and pointed his fingers.

In the next few seconds, both of them rushed towards that place. Vikash saw a fisherman and that fisherman under the fishing pier, he was ready to take his boat and go to the sea.

"Vaishu. If we go in the boat with that fisherman, it will be very nice to see the beach and sunset from the sea. What you are saying? Can we go there ah?"

Vaishnavi agrees. Before that fisherman go into the sea they rushed towards him. After that only police got a footage of them standing under that fishing pier. Actually in that footage both of them will be walking to that fisherman. But due to the angle of that camera the fisherman was not seen.

70 years old fisherman Joseph Pandian, will catch fishes in the sea and sell that to make his living. First Vikash and Vaishnavi both of them went and said: "We will also come with you, sir." When they approached him, he said: "No."

But since Vikash and Vaishnavi pleaded him a lot of times to go with him, finally he agreed to take them. That fisherman Joseph was very lean, short and looked pity. But since he was working in that fishing boat since his childhood, he just look like that. But he was physically very strong. Even though he looked weak from outside, inside he was a very disturbed person.

When Vikash and Vaishnavi asked him for the first time to come in his boat, there is a reason why Joseph said no. Joseph knows that a dangerous character was sleeping inside him and it can come out anytime. But since Vikash and Vaishnavi asked him repeatedly, he said yes. He knows what is going to happen in a few seconds.

After Vikash and Vaishnavi got into the boat, the boat went deep inside the sea. Now, the beast inside Joseph came out. Suddenly he suddenly pushed Vikash into the sea.

When he fell into the sea, Joseph with a big iron hook rod, Vikash who was struggling inside the sea and when he was trying to get inside the boat, with that iron hook in face, head and hand Joseph started to beat aggressively. At one stage without being able to get inside the boat Vikash died.

Without knowing what is happening Vaishnavi was frozen in shock. She was in dead fear seeing her boyfriend being beaten and dying in front of her.

Now Joseph pushed Vaishnavi into the sea like Vikash and with the same iron hook, he started to beat in her head, face and hand aggressively. After killing both of them, as if nothing had happened he came to the shore and started to sell fishes.

Exactly four weeks later if both their dead bodies weren't washed to the shore, Joseph would have escaped easily from killing Vikash and Vaishnavi.

Since both the girls went inside the sea in a boat like Vikash and Vaishnavi and like them he beat and killed them with the same iron hook and because of one of the girls everything came out.

She said: "After we went inside the sea with Joseph I became alert. Since I sensed something was wrong." From her mobile that girl sent a message to her friend. After police got both their dead bodies, and after knowing that she texted a message like this, they checked the register to see which boat went inside the sea on that day and time. But since it was a holiday other than one boat none of the boat went inside the sea and that boat is Joseph's boat.

When they found this, the detective Sukii who was assigned to that case noticed a photo in Vaishnavi's camera and the person in that photo is none other than Joseph Pandian. Without knowing that Joseph is going to kill them brutally in a few minutes, being in his boat, Vaishnavi took a final photo of him.    

Even though there is no clear motive of murder, it was proved that he is the killer. He was given a death sentence.
