Six yrs after he set 'breadwinner' wife ablaze, unemployed man gets life term

An unemployed man in Mumbai has been sentenced to life imprisonment for setting his wife on fire in 2017. The man suspected his wife's character and was unhappy with her for working outside the home. The court relied on the wife's dying declaration, dismissing the defense witness, their son, as possibly being influenced. The judge stated that the crime did not warrant the death penalty and that the evidence pointed to the act being homicidal rather than a suicide. The wife's dying declaration was considered credible and consistent with other evidence. from Mumbai News: Latest Mumbai News Headlines, Coronavirus News, BMC Elections 2022 Updates from Mumbai - Times of India https://ift.tt/mxIbDOf
