Lesbian couple, 3 contract killers get life for double murder

The Shahjahanpur additional district and sessions judge sentenced a lesbian couple and three contract killers to life imprisonment for a double murder that took place in district’s Khutar area in August 2007. Kamla and Shanti Devi, along with Rameshwar, Ganga Singh and Vishnu Pal, were sentenced for the murders of Kamla’s husband Suresh and his elder brother Ram Naresh.

Police discovered that Kamla was in a relationship with her unmarried neighbour and planned the murder because she was being forced to end the relationship. Kamla, who had married Suresh, confessed that Pyare Lal and Ram Naresh were against her relationship with her friend whom she knew for over 10 years. The women initially planned to kill Pyare Lal and Ram Naresh, but Suresh was killed as he was sleeping on Pyare Lal’s cot.

Following the complaint, police picked up Kamla for questioning, and during interrogation, she confessed to the crime. She told the police that she and her friend had married each other at a temple in Khutar area. The women knew the three contract killers, whom Kamla contacted to carry out the murder.

All five accused, who were out on bail, were sent to jail after the judgment. Advocate Manender Singh, who represented the two women in court, said the motive behind the murders was that both women were in a relationship, and Kamla’s in-laws were against it.
