Hello
Surender Koli and Maninder Singh Pandher had been sentenced to death on charges of rape and murder.
Pushpavathi, who was killed in 2009, belonged to the carpenter community; her three sisters did not get a marriage proposal for nine years after her murder
The police had recovered the body of a 30-year-old unidentified woman on March 13. This is the third incident since December 2022.
According to the charge sheet, Jolly Thomas, daughter-in-law of the Ponnamattom family, killed the six people to gain ancestral property.
The accused, Amarendra, was arrested for killing a 60-year-old woman in Ayodhya's Khusheti village. He confessed to the other murders during interrogation.
Dubbed 'the Bikini Killer' for his propensity to target young women and 'the Serpent' for his skill at deception and evasion, Sobhraj was serving a life term in Kathmandu jail since 2003.
The 78-year-old will be deported to his home country France within 15 days.
Even though she has been granted bail, Jolly will not be released from prison as she is also an accused in the other cases in the Koodathayi serial murders.
The report said that as the trial into the murders of Roy Thomas and Sily, two of the dead, were set to begin next month, such a move to derail the case needs to be viewed seriously.
Police sources said at least two people were picked up for questioning.
