In 1980, Kerala was rocked by one of its most chilling twin murders. A peaceful home in Meenthalakkara turned into a crime scene, and the nation watched as a relative—once lovingly called Madrasile Mon—emerged as the prime suspect.

This is the story of the Karikkanvilla Murder and the man at its centre: Reni George. A drug-addicted killer who became a preacher. A death row convict who went on to win the Citizen of the Year award.

In this debut episode of Kerala Crime Files, we revisit the brutal crime that shook a village, the gripping police investigation that followed, and the extraordinary transformation of a man who found faith and purpose inside prison walls.
