BJP worker hacked to death in Kerala

Kannur (Kerala) Oct 12  A Bharatiya Janata Party worker was hacked to death on Wednesday in Kerala's Kannur district, the state police said.

The victim was identified as Remith. He was killed in front of a petrol pump in Pinarayi village around 10 a.m., a police official said.

According to sources, Remith's father was also murdered some years ago.
