Subramanian, according to his mother, invited the girl to his home stating that it was his birthday and set her on fire, and immolated himself.

Locals in the area also confirmed the relation, but they were not aware of him inviting her to his home.
The bodies will be sent for post-mortem at the Ernakulam Medical College hospital and after the inquest and other proceedings handed over to their families.
