A court in Assam’s Biswanath district on Tuesday sentenced four people to life imprisonment for their involvement in brutally killing a woman in the name of hunting a witch 10 years ago.
Biswanath Additional District and Sessions Judge Kumud Barua pronounced the judgment by convicting four men for committing the crime and sentenced them for life imprisonment, public prosecutor Jahnabi Kalita told reporters.
The incident, which had occurred in July 2015, had sparked widespread outrage and led to a prolonged trial that lasted 10 years.
