As the investigation unfolded, police confirmed that Affan had indeed brutally attacked six individuals, but his mother-who is battling cancer-had survived. She has been admitted to hospital, where her condition remains critical.

Officials revealed that Affan travelled to three different houses in Venjaramoodu to carry out the killings and has been changing his statements frequently.

"Affan keeps saying that his father, who owns a shop in Dubai, had accumulated a debt of Rs 75 lakh, and he himself was facing financial difficulties because of this. He said no one agreed to help him, but it is unclear how his girlfriend fits into that picture," an officer stated.

According to the police, Affan first attacked his mother and girlfriend-who was also present at his home-with a sharp weapon before killing his 13-year-old brother with a hammer.

Neighbours expressed shock over the gruesome murders, particularly that of the young boy, describing Affan as a well-mannered and soft-spoken individual.

A woman who runs a tea shop near Affan's house spoke of his affection for his younger brother.

"I cannot believe he did it. He was a good boy. There is not a single bad thing we can say about him. Saw his (accused) younger brother yesterday afternoon also. We did not know what had happened till the police arrived," she told news agency PTI.

After leaving his home, Affan reportedly went to his paternal uncle's house, where he killed both his uncle and his wife following an argument. He then proceeded to his grandmother's house and murdered her as well.

Following the series of killings, he walked into the Venjaramoodu police station and surrendered.

"His mother, who is a cancer patient, was also attacked, and she is in critical condition. Affan has given a statement that there was an argument at his house over his father's debt, which led him to decide that no one should live. He said he approached his mother, grandmother, and relatives for help, but no one was willing to assist him. He has also confessed to stealing his mother's necklace and stated that he intended to die by suicide after committing the murders," a police official reported.
