Tragic Incident in Alathur: Grandfather Killed While Protecting Granddaughter
In a heartbreaking event in Alathur, Kerala, a 65-year-old grandfather lost his life after being stabbed by his 16-year-old grandson. The incident unfolded as the grandfather, Sulaiman, tried to shield his 10-year-old granddaughter from her brother’s attack.
The confrontation took place on October 19 at their home in Kavaserry. Reports indicate that the young boy attacked his sister following an argument. Sulaiman intervened to protect her but sustained severe stab wounds to his chest, neck, and abdomen during the struggle.
He was initially taken to a private hospital in Alathur for treatment. However, due to the seriousness of his injuries, he was later transferred to Thrissur Medical College Hospital. Sadly, despite medical efforts, he passed away late Friday night. Fortunately, his granddaughter has since recovered and is now out of danger.
The grandson, who fled the scene, was soon located by the police and taken to a juvenile home. Authorities initially charged him with attempted murder, but updated reports state that they will modify the charge to murder.
