INDIA TWO ON DEATH ROW ACQUITTED IN MURDER CASE

Kumaran and Senbagam were acquitted by Justices Chockalingam and Karnan of the Madras High Court in India. They were sentenced to death for murder by a Puducherry court in November, 2009, after Auroville police recovered a dead body on January 25, 2001. The prosecution had ‘failed miserably’ identifying the corpse.
