A 95-year-old woman, who was acquitted by a trial court for burning her daughter-in-law, Meenu and her infant son to death in 1996, has been awarded a life sentence by the Delhi High Court.
'Finding the dying declaration of Meenu to be inspiring utmost confidence, with no iota of doubt about her mental faculty, we unhesitatingly rely upon it to hold that the charge of murder stands proved beyond doubt against the accused, as she was instrumental in setting Meenu on fire,' the court said in its 14-page judgment delivered Monday.
