The bodies of Sivin Johny, 26, and Anjali Sheela Joy, 27, arrived at Cochin International Airport in Kochi at around 1:30 a.m. on October 23. Both victims were from Chemmakkad in Periyanad, Kollam district.
The body of the third victim, Nova Sabu, 25, a native of Kattappana in Idukki district, was expected to arrive at the airport at approximately 8:15 p.m. on Friday, according to officials.
Relatives of the deceased gathered at the airport to receive the bodies. Public representatives, including Kalady grama panchayat president Pouly Baby, and officials from the Non-Resident Keralites Affairs (NoRKA) department were also present.
The return of the victims’ remains marks a painful moment for their families and communities, who are mourning the loss of three young Keralites in the overseas incident.
The fire occurred at an apartment building in Bochum, a city in Germany. The available report did not provide further details about the cause of the blaze or the circumstances leading to the deaths.
The arrival arrangements were coordinated with the involvement of relatives and officials, ensuring that the remains could be received in Kerala.
The incident has brought grief to the victims’ home districts of Kollam and Idukki. With the third body expected to arrive later in the day, families and local communities were preparing to receive the remaining victim’s mortal remains.
