The incident came to light after two days of the crime when the police broke down the door of the house and found mutilated bodies lying in a pool of blood. The convict’s wife and sister-in-law, who were in trauma, were sitting in a room.

“The court was convinced that the accused has done a heinous crime with high degree of brutalities”, said the court.
