[1] Although, in March 2023, an article was written by journalist Nideesh M.K attempting to reanalyse the case with evidence from Jayanandan's perspective where the latter claims he was framed by the police.
In a third burglary in October 2004, Jayanandan killed 64-year-old Kalapurackkal Sahadevan and his wife, 58-year-old Nirmala, in their house at Perinjanam, Thrissur district in Mathilakam Police Station limits, to steal 11.25 sovereigns of gold.
When the security guard Subhashakan challenged him to rob the next house and take more money and 3 Video cassette players, Jayanandan struck him on the head with an iron rod and killed him.
The fugitives had cut through the cylindrical 'dead latch' of the padlocked cell's grilled door, possibly with a hacksaw blade, and scaled the relatively low wall of the block.
[4] The escapade was a huge embarrassment for Kerala police as Jayanandan was a seasoned criminal and with multiple successful escape attempts made in past.
