**Headline: Kerala Court Acquits All Accused in 2010 New Mahe Double Murder Case**

**KANNUR, INDIA – October 8, 2025** – In a verdict that has sent ripples through Kerala’s political landscape, the Thalassery Additional Sessions Court on Wednesday acquitted all 16 accused, most of whom are CPI(M) workers, in the 2010 New Mahe double murder case. The case revolved around the brutal killings of RSS activists Vijith, 28, and Shinoj, 30, in Pallur.

The murders, which occurred on May 28, 2010, involved a bomb attack followed by the hacking of Vijith and Shinoj as they returned from a court appearance in connection with a previous attempted murder case.

The prosecution failed to provide compelling evidence to support the charges, leading to the acquittal of the 14 surviving accused. Two of the original 16 accused died during the course of the trial.

Among those acquitted are notable figures like N.K. Sunil Kumar (alias Kodi Suni), K.K. Muhammed Shafi, and K. Shinoj, all of whom are currently serving prison sentences for their involvement in the T.P. Chandrasekharan murder case. Other acquitted individuals include T. Sujith, T.K. Sumesh, T.P. Shameel, A.K. Shammas, K.K. Abbas, Rahul, K.V. Vineesh, P.V. Vijith, Faisal, Sarish, and T.P Sajeer.

The trial, which began in January 2021 and concluded on August 19, saw the examination of 44 witnesses and the presentation of 63 exhibits and 140 documents.

Special Public Prosecutor P. Premarajan represented the prosecution, while Advocates C.K. Sreedharan and K. Viswan appeared for the defense. The prosecution was conducted following a High Court directive in response to a petition filed by Vijith’s mother, Rajamma.
