In connection with the September 18 rape and murder case, the Khekiye Village Council Court (KVCC) through an order expelled the accused along with his entire family.
In a press note, Khekiye Village Council (KVC) chairman, Hukheto Murru stated that the decision was made after the general public meeting held on September 23, following the Sumi public rally held on September 20 under the aegis of Sumi Totimi Hoho and Sumi Hoho. In this regard, a three-point resolution was adopted wherein Murru said the accused, “Samuel (H/no. 76A SL NO. 457) and his entire family have been expelled with immediate effect on September 20, 2017 from the fold and count of his village” including his father “Satovi (H/no. 76B, SL NO. 462)”. It also said that “all immovable, movable and house hold paraphernalia have also been seized with immediate effect and shall not be claimed.”
Further, it warned that anyone who opposes the order shall be counted as conniving with the criminal and the person responsible would be forwarded to the Sumi apex bodies for befitting action. Terming the unfortunate incident as “rarest case” and being the first incident in the village record, KVC said such action was beyond human limit.
Meanwhile, the bereaved family and the village authorities have expressed gratitude to Aghunato administration, OC and his personnel, Zunheboto SDPO and women police for their prompt action. KVC also appealed to the SH and STH presidents and all associated bodies to consider this as an indelible public action for the future.
