Man Gets Life Sentence in Axe Murder of Ex-Girlfriend
A man named Amitkumar was found guilty of killing his ex-girlfriend, Komal, with an axe.
This happened in India almost a decade ago because she didn't want to get back together with him.
He attacked her in public, causing serious injuries that eventually led to her death in the hospital.
The court believed her final words before she passed away, where she identified Amitkumar as the attacker.
Witnesses also saw the attack and confirmed what happened.
Police found the axe used in the crime and matched the blood evidence.
Amitkumar will now spend the rest of his life in prison.
Amitkumar Vishwakarma was sentenced to life imprisonment for the 2015 murder of his ex-girlfriend.
The victim, Komal Sakpal, was attacked with an axe after refusing to resume their relationship.
The assault took place in Mira Road, resulting in severe head and neck injuries.
Sakpal's dying declaration and eyewitness testimonies supported the prosecution's case.
Forensic evidence, including the murder weapon, further incriminated Vishwakarma.
