refers to a murder in [[Kerala]], [[India]]. The case involved the 1966 murder of a widow named Mariyakutty. A priest, Fr. Benedict Onamkulam, was convicted of the crime. Sessions court sentenced the priest to death but the Church <br /> approached the high court and freed him.<br /> His supporters claim that he knew the culprit, but he didn&#039;t break the seal of confession.<br /> <br /> == Prosecution ==<br /> The prosecution alleged that the [[Syro-Malabar Catholic]] priest Fr. Benedict Onamkulam had killed Mariyakutty at the stream of [[Madatharuvi]], near [[Ranni]] with the motive of ending their affair. Onamkulam was sentenced to death by the session court, however, the [[High court of Kerala]] acquitted and freed him purely based on technical grounds dismissing circumstantial evidence in 1967.<br /> <br /> The case has been so sensational in [[Kerala]] that it inspired a number [[film]]s.&lt;ref name=herald&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldofindia.com/article.php?id=527 |title=Mariakutty&#039;s murder|work=The Herald of India |first= A.J. |last=Philip |accessdate=2010-08-09}}&lt;/ref&gt; It came into prominence in local media again in 2010 when the [[Changanassery|Changanassery Bishop]] opened Fr.
