Mumbai: A man from Mumbai was awarded life sentence by a local court while his wife got 10 months imprisonment for the murder of his 70-year-old foster mother.
Additional Public Prosecutor Buleshwar Hinge told the district court that Vinit alias Mahesh Mestri (38) and his wife Maya killed his foster mother Indira Remje (70), a resident of Andheri in Mumbai, on September 21, 2014.
They then packed the body in a trunk, tied it with a rope and sealed it. The trunk was dumped at Mira Road in Thane where a police party on patrol duty found it, he said.
They later attempted to sell her ornaments to a local jeweller, who bought all jewels but one which had grey hair entangled in it.
They then came to know that Vinit, who was jobless and a drunkard, had bought several household items all of a sudden.
The two brothers later also found out that the accused had come to their house and the neighbours had seen them bringing a trunk.
The court relied on deposition of the woman's neighbours who informed that they had seen the accused enter her house.
However, Mr Hinge urged the court to award maximum punishment to the accused so that it gives a strong message to the society.
