Haunted by guilt, 54-year-old Muhammadali from Malappuram confessed to a 1986 murder he committed at age 14 in Koodaranji, Kozhikode in Kerala. He claimed he accidentally killed a man in self-defence. The case, long closed as a natural death, has now been reopened by police, who are searching archives to identify the victim and uncover long-lost details.
