The accused, identified as Harish (20) and Murali (22), of Kadadenahalli, came to the house of the victim, Anuradha, on the pretext of repairing a geyser. They murdered her and made away with jewellery and a mobile phone. The judge, Manjula, who heard the case for a year, said the crime was a most heinous one and deserved the highest punishment. She pronounced the judgment on Monday afternoon.
Circle Inspector Sampathkumar tracked the phone calls made by the accused and took Harish, Murali and Yogesh, a minor, into custody and conducted an investigation.
