Kerala Court Sentences Seven to Life for 2016 Vishnu Murder Case
A special court in Nedumangad, Kerala, sentenced seven men to life imprisonment and 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for the 2016 murder of 19-year-old Vishnu at his Kannamoola home. The court acquitted five others and did not sentence an eighth accused who died before trial. The attack, linked to a gang feud, also seriously injured Vishnu's parents and aunt. The prosecution presented 48 witnesses and extensive evidence during the trial, with fines imposed on the convicts to compensate the victims' family.
