Handicapped man gets life term for killing sister’s friend
February 17th, 2012 - 9:57 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Feb 17 (IANS) A handicapped man and his sister have been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Delhi court for stabbing a girl 30 times with a knife.
District Judge H.S. Sharma Thursday awarded life term imprisonment to Rajesh and his sister Monica for killing the latter’s friend Renu on Sep 5, 2006.
“The chain is complete. It leads to irresistible conclusion that in all probability the accused had committed the murder,” said judge Sharma.
Sharma observed that prosecution has proven the facts by producing reliable witnesses, the neighbours.
According to the prosecution, Rajesh along with his sister killed Renu in their house. Renu was brought by Monica to their house, which is only 100 metres away, on the day of incident. Rajesh had developed romantic feelings for Renu, but she showed only sympathy for him and did not reciprocate his feelings. This angered him and led to the murder.
The witnesses of the case told court that they saw Rajesh holding a knife and also heard him utter that he had killed Renu.
Defending Rajesh, his counsel told the court that the accused is a handicapped person and incapable of getting even water for himself. However, the court held Rajesh equally guilty.
