| It's death sentence for Chandrabhushan Upadhyay, the main killer of the Seth family, while his three associates have been given life term by a local court here on Wednesday.
It took nearly four years and painstaking examination of 42 witnesses and hundreds of exhibits for the Ranga Reddy District Court to award the stringent punishments for those responsible for the grisly multiple killings and the gruesome way in which bodies of the railway officer's family were burnt in their car in Malkajigiri.
The sentence was awarded by Fifth Additional District and Sessions Judge (Full Additional Charge) R. Gopalakrishna Murthy in a packed court as the convicted persons watched silently. Munna Kumar, Moni Singh and Maheswar were given life terms while Upadhyay's sister Anju Chouby was given a three-year term.
The police said Upadhyay, for whom avenging the humiliation was the motive for the killings, remained totally nonchalant as the judgement was delivered. "We'll move the High Court. I am not guilty," he was stated to have murmured as the judge pronounced the death sentence.
Senior railway officer Baldev Raj Seth (57), his wife Prabha, 50, daughter Kannika (11) and son Rishabh (7) were killed one by one in their bungalow in Mettuguda on March 17, 2003. Their bodies were later stuffed in their car, which was driven to Malkajigiri and set on fire by the foursome. Seth's elder daughter Mrinal escaped as she was away in Delhi.
Bodies burnt
The interesting point of prosecution conducted by S. Vijay Prashant was that none of the witnesses turned hostile. The court had also examined 137 documents and 111 objects. Upadhyay from Bihar was living with the Seth family in Mettuguda. With the help of his associates, he killed Rishabh and Prabha by slitting their throats during daytime and later killed Kavitha in a similar fashion. She had just returned from school. Seth, who came home in the night, was shot dead at a close range.
