Kerala Man Sentenced to Death for 2025 Nenmara Double Murder Case
A Kerala court sentenced 61-year-old Chenthamara to death for the January 2025 murders of his neighbour Sudhakaran and Sudhakaran's mother Lakshmi, deeming the case 'rarest of rare.' The killings occurred shortly after Chenthamara was released on bail for the 2019 murder of Sudhakaran's wife, Sajitha. The court imposed a Rs 20 lakh fine, directed to the victims' orphaned daughters, and cited the convict's lack of remorse and ongoing threat to society. Chenthamara had previously received double life imprisonment for the earlier murder.
