With this, the number of people who lost their lives in the Kalamassery serial bomb blasts has risen to three. More than 40 people have been injured. <br />''</span><br />''Police in Kerala appears to have veered around the view that the serial blasts at a prayer congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Kochi yesterday, was  the handiwork of a Kochi native, Dominic Martin, who parted ways with the religious group about six years ago. They are, however, investigating various other angles to further unearth the motive behind the blasts.<br />''<br />''Martin, who surrendered at Kodakara Police Station in Thrissur yesterday, admitted in a Facebook post  that he triggered the blasts, and gave video evidence to the police of his role in the incident. He claimed that the group's teachings  were anti-national. Meanwhile, NSG and NIA experts from Delhi, who arrived in Kochi visited the blast site last evening.<br />''<br />''<span style="color: #222222;">In a related development, State DGP Sheikh Darvesh Sahib constituted a 21 member Special lnvestigation Team (SIT) headed by ADGP Law & Order M.
