Additional sessions judge S Tasneem handed out life imprisonment to Mandaveli resident S Krishnamoorthy, managing director of KSR Freight Forwarders Private Ltd, his son Pratheek Krishnamoorthy who is a director of the firm, their driver R Kannan and hirelings S Vijayakumar, D John and M Senthil.

The six had murdered A Babu alias Hemakumar because of his alleged closeness to Krishnamoorthy's daughter Deepa Ezhil, who is also a director of the firm.

They had taken him to a house in Chromepet, chopped off his genitalia and stabbed him to death, the judge noted.
