KOCHI: Two men were on Thursday arrested for facilitating the escape of Father Edwin Figarez, an accused in a child abuse case.
Both the arrested men are Edwin’s relatives, police said, while identifying them as Thrissur residents Silvesto Figarez (58), brother of the Puthenvelikkara church priest and Ben Gari Figarez (22).
Police have also confiscated the car in which the duo allegedly facilitated the escape of Edwin to Bengaluru, from where the priest fled the country to the UAE. Investigators said Ben drove the car with the priest on April 1, a day before Edwin flew out of the country.
