Mass murder: Afan's father returns from Dammam to the land of losses
The New Indian Express Thrissur
|March 01, 2025
IT was not the kind of return that Abdul Rahim, father of Afan, accused of killing five people, would have hoped for.
Rahim landed from Dammam at 7.45 am after his travel ban was removed following intervention from social activists stationed in Saudi Arabia.
For Rahim, this homecoming after seven years was heart-wrenching, to say the least. An expat for the past 25 years, Rahim got stuck in the kingdom for the past few years due to financial issues and legal hurdles. Crushed down by the grief of losing his close family members—mother, son, brother and sister-in-law—that too to his elder son, Rahim was inconsolable.
