CUDDALORE: A court in Tamil Nadu’s Cuddalore district sentenced a 29-year-old woman to double life term for murdering a four-year-old boy following a land dispute with his parents. The two life sentences will run concurrently.
According to the prosecution, enmity prevailed between M Ranjitha and Senthilnathan, a car driver, both from Keezhkollai village, because of the land dispute.
On Jan 26, 2022, Ranjitha saw Senthilnathan’s son S Ashwanth playing in front of his house, and took him to a nearby cashew nut farm. She brutally assaulted the boy and strangled him to death. Ranjitha was arrested on a police complaint lodged by Senthilnathan.
