A devastating incident of domestic violence has led to a life imprisonment sentence for Manoj Abraham, 48, who brutally murdered his wife, Reena, 35, in front of their children in 2014. The Pathanamthitta Additional District and Sessions Court on Thursday delivered the verdict, also imposing a fine of Rs 2 lakh, which will be paid to the children.

Judge GP Jayakrishnan delivered the verdict, imposing a fine of Rs. 2,00,000. This amount must be paid to the children; otherwise, the defendant must serve an additional two years in prison. He has also been sentenced to one month in prison and fined Rs. 500 for causing wrongful obstruction. The verdict further states that a warrant will be issued to collect the fine from the defendant's property if it is not paid.
