Chamarajanagar: District and Sessions court in Chamarajanagar on Thursday sentenced a man to life imprisonment for killing his wife after taking into consideration the testimony of his daughter.

On March 27, 2017, the accused Nayaka, a resident of Kolipalya village in the taluk had assaulted his wife Puspa Bai with an axe thereby killing her. The couple’s daughter, aged 8, was an eye-witness to the murder.

Based on her testimony, court judge Lokappa awarded life imprisonment to the accused.

As per the case details, Nayaka had pledged Pushpa’s gold necklace to provide financial assistance to his brother. Pushpa was unhappy with this and wanted Nayaka to get her necklace back. This led to animosity developing between the two. The matter finally went out of hand and Nayaka had assaulted his wife with an axe and killed her.
