Abigail was saved by the precise search of a sleepy policeman, the moment a police complaint was received that a six-year-old girl had been assaulted.
Fearing that he would be caught, the accused left the child and ran away. There is no doubt that the proper investigation by the police saved the child.
But it was the statements of Abigail’s brother Jonathan that led the police on the right track. Jonathan tried to save his baby sister as best he could.
Abigail was there to protect her with a stick when she told him to look after me. Even when he caught her and put her in the car, he was beating them with that stick.
It was Jonathan who eventually alerted the locals and gave accurate details to the police. The boy gave accurate information to the police about the color of the car, how many people were in the car, how many women were in it and how many times he had seen it.
The clarity of Jonathan’s statement led the police in the right direction. In this context, a post on social media about Jonathan is gaining attention. A post written by a Facebook user named Hari Narayanan about Jonathan has gone viral.
Full version of the post.
‘…The postman came round a white car, gave me a paper and told me to give it to Ammachi, by that time he put her in the car and dragged me away…’
These are the words of Jonathan, Abigail’s brother. Look how clear and precise statements Jonathan gave to the police.
1. White car
2. The car that used to be seen all the time
3. Paper
4. A place called Pooyapally
All very accurate. It is the statement of an eight-year-old!
Because it was all right, they left her behind in fear of being caught.
Abigail was there to protect her with a stick when she told him to look after me. Even when he caught her and put her in the car, he was beating them with that stick.
Kerala Police had only these statements of Jonathan to start the case. Thanks to the Kerala Police and from that statement you have traveled on the exact route.
That is why they left Abigail.
Perhaps it was the fear that they would be caught if a little more time had passed that made her ready to leave.
In the Soumya murder case that shook Kerala, Govindachami’s gallows was cut to life because there was no strong testimony from the first eyewitness. Therein lies the importance and greatness of Jonathan’s statement.
It was through your words that you got your sister-in-law. Be proud of you.
Jonathan you are the star!
I don’t know what to call you Congress workers who are ready to take political advantage by coming to the police station en masse when an entire state is searching for a baby, forgetting caste, religion and politics.
One more time…! Jonathan you are the star…! The star of this country..! Your sister-in-law’s star!
There is only one thing to say to the media workers in Kerala, ‘Those who beat the baby showed dignity and humanity by leaving her unharmed. Kerala expects at least that much humanity from you!
