Palakkad (Keralam) [India], July 20 (ANI): Government pleader Vijaya Kumar on Monday hailed the verdict of Palakkad Additional Sessions Court awarding a death sentence to a 61-year-old absconding accused in the sensational 2025 Nenmara double murder case.
Terming the double murder as “cold-blooded” and “barbaric,” Kumar emphasised that it threatened the entire society of Keralam.
“I’m very happy that we have put a lot of effort, and also my team has done a very great thing, and finally we got the verdict favourable to us, and it should be noted that it is a very cold-blooded, barbaric murder which threatened and frightened the entire society of Keralam. Three family members were eliminated from the society,” he said.
Notably, Chenthamara had earlier been arrested for the 2019 murder of Sudhakaran’s wife, Sajitha, whom he allegedly blamed for his marital problems.
Earlier, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abdul Rahim said that the investigation to arrest the absconding accused was conducted in a systematic manner with the help of the prosecution.
“The investigation was systematic, and on the next day of the incident, we could arrest the accused who was absconding. The prosecution was very helpful. That is why such a punishment was awarded by the court,” he said.
Notably, Chenthamara was convicted of murdering his neighbour Sudhakaran, 56, and Sudhakaran’s 74-year-old mother, Lakshmi, at Pothundi near Nenmara on January 27, 2025. Palakkad Additional Sessions Court sentenced him to death after finding him guilty of killing a mother and son. (ANI)
