Malayalam movie on Abhaya murder case

The mysterious murder of a Catholic nun at her convent in 1992 will soon be scripted for a Malayalam movie titled 'Pious Tenth Garden'.

The movie is based on the life of 21-year-old Sister Abhaya, who was found, murdered on March 27, 1992, in the convent well in St Pious X convent in Kottayam.

While the investigation rendered fruitless even after 16 years, last month, the CBI arrested two priests and a nun on charges of murder committed to cover up a sex scandal involving the three.

However for Vinayan, the story will not follow the exact case but rather will portray the relationship between a priest and nun who fall in love and face intense pressure from all sides.

While leading actors, producers are being roped in for the movie, reports state, the shooting will begin by January 2009, next year.
