Balasore, February 12 A court in Balasore, Odisha, has sentenced three members of a family to life imprisonment for the murder of a newly-wed woman in 2012.
The convicted include the woman's husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law, according to public prosecutor Kanhu Charan Behera.
Additional District Judge Minakhi Das awarded life imprisonment to the trio for killing Swapna by poisoning her due to the failure to provide dowry after marriage, Behera said.
The judgment was delivered after examining 18 witnesses and other evidence.
Swapna was found dead in June 2012 at her in-laws' house.
Her father later lodged a complaint at the Soro police station against the three family members.
