Murder case: Wife, her friend acquitted

The Kerala High Court recently acquitted a woman and her friend in a murder case due to lack of evidence. The woman’s husband, Mohandas, was found dead in December 2012, leading to the duo being sentenced to life imprisonment by the trial court. However, the High Court overturned this decision, stating that the prosecution failed to establish a direct connection to the murder and that most of the evidence presented was circumstantial. This ruling highlights the importance of solid evidence in criminal cases to ensure justice is served.
