Chenthamara is a 61-year-old man from Palakkad, Kerala.

He was sentenced to death for killing three people.

The first murder happened in 2019, and the other two happened in 2025.

Chenthamara was out on bail for the first murder when he committed the other two.

He killed a young mother named Sajitha, her husband Sudhakaran, and Sudhakaran's mother, Lakshmi Amma.

The court decided to give him the death penalty because he showed no remorse for his actions.

Chenthamara believed that someone had performed black magic on him, which led to his violent behavior.

He had a strained relationship with his wife and daughter, who did not visit him after the first murder.

Chenthamara was described as a calm and composed person who could turn violent suddenly.

He had a history of aggressive and vengeful behavior.
