In a bizzare incident, a 23-year-old college student was poisoned to death by his girlfriend in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram since he was unwilling to end the relationship. She gave him a drink mixed with pesticides on October 14th and he died in the hospital after 10 days.

Police said Greeshma confessed to committing the crime after 8 hours of questioning. She did so to get rid of him because he did not agree to end the relationship.

“She called him to her house and mixed a pesticide named Kapiq in an ayurvedic concoction and made him drink it. He vomited right after that and left with his friend later. The murder was planned earlier and she called him home to execute it,” said the ADGP.

Greeshma and Sharon were in a relationship for a year. In February 2022, some problems started to arise between them and Greeshma’s wedding was fixed with somebody else. However, they continued the relationship. Recently, they had some problems again, and to get rid of Sharon, she decided to kill him. Greeshma had earlier tried a lot to somehow make him agree to end the relationship.

Greeshma also cooked up a story to scare him into leaving her by stating that, as per her horoscope, her first husband would die.

“Sharon’s brother was calling Greeshma continuously to check what she gave him. She didn’t reveal anything out of fear. If she had, he could have been saved,” said the ADGP.

Sharon died on October 25 at Thiruvananthapuram medical college hospital. His family alleged that this was a planned murder by his girlfriend. The magistrate recorded his death statement on October 20 and police took the statement on October 21. Sharon, in his death statement, had repeatedly stated that he didn’t doubt anyone.

Now, Greeshma, who confessed to the crime after an 8-hour interrogation, has been taken into custody by police officials in Thiruvananthapuram.
