India: Church spokesman says nun, 2 priests are being framed for murder
December 05, 2008
India’s Central Bureau of Investigation told a Kerala court on Tuesday that two priests and a nun had confessed to the 1992 murder of a 21-year-old nun. A spokesman for the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church commented, “We don’t believe this. The investigation is proceeding with a preplanned script.” The southwestern Indian state of Kerala is the center of activity of this Eastern Catholic Church, which traces its origin to the evangelization of St. Thomas the Apostle.
