The Court was hearing a reference made by the Sessions Judge for confirmation of death sentence awarded to one Sonam and her boyfriend, Naveen Kumar, for the murder of her parents, 16-year-old brother, grandmother and three cousins, all of whom were below 11 years of age.
The police investigation had revealed that the duo believed that Sonam’s family was a “hurdle in their love affair”. Having conspired to eliminate them, they then strangulated the victims after administering them sleeping pills at their house in Qabulpur village of Rohtak.
