Brothers Get Life for Sister's Boyfriend's Murder
30 Sep
Summary
- Three brothers received life sentences for murder in 2022.
- Sister and mother were acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
- Body was disposed of in a canal after strangulation.
Three brothers were given life sentences by an additional sessions court for the 2022 murder of their sister's boyfriend. The court determined the case did not qualify as 'rarest of the rare,' thus avoiding the death penalty. The victim's body was found dumped in a canal.
While the prosecution presented evidence and confessions, the court acquitted the brothers' sister and mother due to a lack of credible evidence linking them to the crime. An accomplice involved in disposing of the body received a four-year prison term.
The FIR was registered on March 1, 2022, following a complaint about the victim's disappearance. Evidence, including witness testimonies, confessions, the body's recovery, and autopsy reports, corroborated the brothers' guilt. However, charges against the mother and sister were not substantiated by call records or direct evidence of their involvement.
