Indian High Courts Review Death Sentences in Separate Child Murder Cases
Two Indian high courts recently reviewed death sentences in separate child murder cases. The Allahabad High Court acquitted a woman sentenced to death for drowning her three children, citing unreliable child testimony and investigative lapses. Meanwhile, the Punjab and Haryana High Court commuted a death sentence to 30 years' rigorous imprisonment for a woman who buried her toddler alive, emphasizing the need for punishment to allow for remorse and reform, especially considering the convict's own children.
