LIFE TO KILLER HUSBAND;

Chimmanamada ganesh had brutally murdered his wife Saraswathi during 2006, demanding dowry.

His wife had lodged a complaint with the Srimangala police in an earlier occasion and alleged that she was attacked with a bill hook demanding dowry. Police did little to settle the matter. Again in the month of March, 2006, he beat his wife with a club and sliced her throat.

Police had arrested the accused and lodged him in jail.

Fast track court yesterday pronounced the judgments and sentenced him to undergo imprisonment for life and also to pay a fine of rupees two thousand.
