Aghast with SC verdict, says Soumya's mother

November 11, 2016 20:54

The mother of Soumya, who was brutally raped and killed after being pushed out of a moving train in 2011, today said she was aghast with Supreme Court's rejection of her review petition against acquittal of the convict of murder charge.

Sumathi said her daughter had been killed cruelly "inch by inch" and justice had been denied to her family.

"Even though I have not got justice, Govindachamy should never leave the prison. I had expected to get justice from the Supreme Court," Sumathi, who broke down on hearing the verdict, told reporters at her home in Shornoor in Palakkad district.

The apex court today dismissed the two review petitions filed by Kerala government and Sumathi challenging its earlier verdict commuting the death sentence of the accused Govindachamy after dropping the murder charge.
