Kerala Police are probing the shocking murder of five people by 23-year-old Afan in Thiruvananthapuram, focusing on financial debt rather than drug use. Afan, who confessed and is hospitalised, allegedly killed his grandmother, uncle, aunt, younger brother, and girlfriend before surrendering. The family owed ₹64 lakh to multiple lenders, and Afan had recently pawned stolen gold. Investigators await toxicology reports and digital evidence. His mother, also attacked, is recovering. Authorities are working to bring Afan’s father back from Saudi Arabia. Police have deployed 25 officers to investigate the brutal killings.
