Convicted to life imprisionment on basis of words of three year old child
In last week, I overheard about this case.
From what I overheard in court room, it looked that murder had taken place inside house. Relatives in house gave police statements that wife was killed by husband and they had no role in death.
In court, every witness changed their statements. They said they had not seen husband killing the wife.
Police had also cited a three year old child witness. Judge inquired with child. The child said Papa killed Mummy
This was the only witness who supported case of prosecution.
The judge then examined several other circumstances and convicted husband. The conviction was upheld by High Court. And Supreme Court also dismissed appeal.
Point: "Law may be blind. But Judges are not"
