SHARON MURDER CASE: ACCUSED GIRLFRIEND GETS DEATH SENTENCE

Accused poisoned her boyfriend with pesticide-laced decoction

- 

Accused Greeshma in the high-profile Sharon Raj murder case has been sentenced to death by the Neyyattinkara Additional Sessions Court on Monday. The court gave capital punishment to the accused who had poisoned her boyfriend Sharon Raj, a 23-year-old man, with pesticide-laced ayurvedic decoction.

The third accused, Greeshma's uncle Nirmalakumaran Nair, has been sentenced to three years of rigorous imprisonment.

While pronouncing the quantum of punishment, the court observed, "The act of inviting Sharon over under the pretext of sexual intimacy and subsequently committing the crime cannot be ignored. It is the State's responsibility to ensure punishment for criminal acts. Evidence such as Sharon recording a video of the suspicious juice, despite Greeshma asking him not to record, indicates that he suspected something was wrong. Sharon fought for his life for 11 days without even consuming a drop of water."
