Advocate B A Aloor, known for representing the accused in several sensational cases appeared in the court for the trio.
"We have to understand what the truth is...I took over the case based on discussions with some of the persons related to the accused. Though I was initially approached to appear for the couple, I was asked to appear for the other person also later. So, I will appear for all three," he told reporters.
On Tuesday, senior IPS officer R Nishanthini said prima facie the crime was committed with an intention to settle the financial issues of the couple.
Quoting the accused, the officer said Muhammad Shafi alias Rasheed, who lured the hapless women and brought them to Singh's house, had contacted the couple through Facebook Messenger. The two victims, who made a living by selling lottery tickets, were suspected to be 'sacrificed'.
The chopped body parts, believed to be that of the deceased women, were exhumed from the premises of the couple's house at Elanthoor on Tuesday.
