Man sentenced to life for murdering wife in Tamil Nadu

A man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering his wife during a domestic dispute. The Mayiladuthurai District Sessions Court also imposed a fine of ₹5,000, with an additional year in prison for non-payment. The case dates back to 2017 when the victim, Devi, was found dead near her home. Her father reported her death as suspicious, leading to an investigation that revealed her husband, Saravanan, had assaulted her. Saravanan was arrested after the inquiry confirmed he struck Devi's head against a wall, causing fatal injuries. The court found him guilty following the trial.
