Quick Summary: In a gripping case from Kerala, Manu @ Kanchappan and several others were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Jishnu, driven by revenge for a past fight. The High Court of Kerala agreed with the original decision and rejected the appeals.
On February 10, 2017, at the Oottuparambu Railway Cross in Alappuzha, Jishnu was attacked by a group of men with deadly weapons. This happened because they believed Jishnu was involved in a previous murder and celebrated the death of their friend, Ullas.
The attackers, armed with swords and pipes, chased Jishnu and his friends from the railway crossing. Jishnu tried to hide in a nearby house, but the attackers broke in and fatally attacked him. His brother and a friend saw what happened.
The defense questioned the reliability of the witness accounts and how the evidence was handled. They pointed out inconsistencies and delays in the investigation but did not succeed in convincing the court.
This case shows the serious consequences of revenge-driven violence and the strong legal system in place to deal with such terrible crimes.
