Sushma, mother of Prejin Jose and wife of the deceased Jose, said she fears for her life if he is released from prison.

According to Sushma, Prejin started exhibiting behavioural changes after he enrolled in a short-duration film course in Ernakulam. Prejin, who used to regularly attend church lost interest in that and began listening to haunting music like 'Ohm' chants that carried some sort of vibrations, Sushma said. She further said that Prejin used to sing in the choir and was good at initiating conversations, all of which changed after he joined the course. "He used to play the music after locking himself in his room on the first floor. He never allowed us there and threw tantrums if we tried to sneak in," she said.
