<p>According to a government health advisory, the victim, 45-year-old Sally Pradeepan from Malayattoor in the state’s Ernakulam district, passed away in a private hospital on Saturday night. It said she was receiving ventilator support.</p>
<p>17 victims of the explosions are now receiving care in local hospitals, according to a bulletin issued by a medical board established to tend to the injured parties. Nine of them are in wards, eight are in the intensive care unit (ICU), and one is in severe condition.</p>
<p>The explosives were detonated on October 29 during a Jehovah’s Witness religious assembly. Libina, a 12-year-old girl from Malayattoor, passed away on October 30 at the Kalamassery Government Medical College Hospital from her injuries, and two ladies who were attending the gathering that day also perished in the explosions. Then on November 6, 61-year-old Kalamassery resident Moly Joy passed away at a private hospital.</p>
<p>During the many explosions at an international conference center in Kalamassery, close to this port city in Kerala, over fifty people were hurt, some of them critically. They had convened on the last day of a three-day Jehovah’s Witness prayer session.</p>
<p>A guy named Dominic Martin claimed to be an alienated Jehovah’s Witness and turned himself up to the police in the Thrissur region a few hours after the occurrence. He claimed to have carried out the several bombings. His arrest was subsequently documented by the police.</p>
<p>Martin has also been charged under applicable parts of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), in addition to Section 3 of the Explosive Substances Act and Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which stipulates the penalty for murder.</p>
