Anliya, a Nursing graduate from Kerala,

Anliya, a Nursing graduate from Kerala, was working at the Jeddah National Hospital as a staff nurse when she received a marriage proposal from Justin in 2015. “We found Justin on a matrimonial site, where his profile said that he worked in Dubai,” Hygenous says.


Anliya and Justin got married on December 26, 2016. Anliya, who was 23 years old then, resigned her job in Saudi Arabia to join her husband in Dubai, only to eventually learn that he had produced fake certificates to get a job. The couple had to leave Dubai in May 2017 and return to Thrissur.
The couple had a child on January 2, 2018.
What the diary revealed
Weeks after Anliya’s death, Hygenous and Leelamma found a key in a flower vase in their house in Kochi. It was the key to Anliya’s cupboard, which contained a journal – Anliya’s diary entries that chronicled her life since the day of her betrothal to Justin.
Several pages of the diary revealed the domestic abuse she was subjected to by both her husband and his family. Some of the pages, which TNM accessed, predicted what was to befall her.
“If anything happens to me, my husband and his family will be responsible,” wrote Anliya on one of the pages in her diary.
