SC Speeds Up Poisoning Murder Trial

The Supreme Court has told a Mumbai court to finish a murder trial quickly.

The trial is about a woman and her friend who are accused of poisoning her husband with arsenic and thallium in 2022.

The court wants the trial to be over in six months.

So far, four people have testified.

The woman was given bail, but her friend is still in jail.

If the trial isn't finished in time, the friend can ask for bail again.
