Police have circumstantial evidence against Jolly to charge her in court.
With her six-day police custody set to end on Wednesday, Superintendent of Police K.G. Simon, who is leading the probe team, said on Sunday further custody would be sought, if required.
“The probe is going well. Jolly has confessed to all the six murders. Evidences are there against the three accused. At the moment nothing could be said about Shaju, second husband of Jolly Thomas,” said Simon.
Jolly had met a lawyer a day before her arrest, he said and added, it was on the lawyer’s advice that she held on during in the first few days of questioning.
“Lawyers while taking care of their client’s needs should also care for their social responsibility,” said Simon, expressing his ire at the lawyer, whose pep talk gave Jolly a lot of confidence.
Shaju has been asked to appear before the police on Monday.
Despite the confessions, the police are digging deep for the evidence as circumstantial evidences may not suffice in charging her for all the crimes listed.
The police are awaiting the first round of forensic reports on all the six bodies, exhumed a few days before Jolly and her two accomplices were arrested. They are also awaiting arrival of the complainant, Jolly’s husband’s brother, from the US.
The first to die an unnatural death in 2002 was Jolly’s mother-in-law Annamma, a retired teacher. She was followed by Jolly’s father-in-law, Tom Thomas, in 2008. In 2011, their son and Jolly’s husband, Roy Thomas, died.
It was followed by the death of Roy’s maternal uncle, Mathew, in 2014.
