Meerut woman and lover get death sentence for husband's murder

A fast-track court in Meerut has awarded the death penalty to a woman and her lover for conspiring to murder her husband and attempting to stage the death as a snake bite. The court found both accused guilty of premeditated homicide and criminal conspiracy. Post-mortem examination revealed that the victim died of strangulation, with injury marks visible on his neck and nose, contradicting the cover-up narrative. The couple's plan to make the death appear accidental through the placement of a snake at the crime scene ultimately unraveled during the investigation. The case highlights how investigators relied on forensic evidence to uncover the true cause of death and dismantled the accused's carefully constructed alibi. The verdict was delivered following a thorough examination of the evidence and testimony presented during the trial.
