Two ex-Armymen arrested for murdering 17-day-old twins, their mother 19 years ago in Kerala

In a chilling murder case that remained unsolved for nearly two decades, an ex-Armyman was arrested on Friday for allegedly killing a 24-year-old woman and her 17-day-old twin babies in Kerala with the help of a fellow soldier, NDTV reported.


His accomplice was also arrested in the case.

The ex-Armyman took the step as he feared a paternity test would prove that he was the father of the twin daughters.

After committing the crime, the two men then went into hiding, deserting the Army, marrying, and having children.

They managed to evade the law for a staggering 19 years; until a tip-off proved to be their undoing.

The case dates back to February 10, 2006, when 24-year-old Ranjini and her newborn daughters were murdered in their rented house at Yeram near Anchal in Kerala's Kollam district.

Ranjini's mother found the bodies upon returning from the panchayat office, where she had gone to get the twins' birth certificates.

An investigation into the crime later revealed that Dibil Kumar B, a native of Anchal who was 28 at the time and served in the Indian Army's 45 AD Regiment in Pathankot, was in a relationship with Ranjini.

However, after the twins were born on January 24, 2006, he began distancing himself from her.

When the Kerala State Women's Commission ordered a test to establish the paternity of the twins, an infuriated Kumar started plotting her murder.

According to the CBI investigators, Dibil's accomplice, Rajesh P, also served in the same Army regiment.

He reportedly befriended Ranjini and her mother, assuring them to help convince Dibil Kumar to marry Ranjini.

However, he allegedly joined in the plot to kill her and her daughters instead.

The Kerala High Court ordered the handing over of the case to the CBI in 2010.
