A British woman, Ramandeep Kaur Mann was found guilty and has been sentenced to death by hanging in India over the death of her husband.
The court heard Ms Kaur Mann had poisoned her family before slitting her husband’s throat on September 2, 2016, in order to inherit £2 million from his life insurance.The eyewitness testimony of the victim’s nine-year-old son was said to have been crucial in securing a conviction against the woman, who is a British national.
She carried out the heinous act by poisoning a meal given to several members of the family, but her eldest son did not eat it. The court found them guilty of murder and the offence of criminal acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention. A judge described the case on Saturday as the “rarest of rare” and said, “Not only Sukhjeet was murdered but the remaining years of an elderly widow was killed, the childhood as well as the youth of two minor children was exterminated. The children have lost the happiness which they had when their father was alive.
