Pall of gloom descends on Wesley Mathews' house in Kerala

A pall of gloom descended over the residence of Wesley Mathews' parents here Thursday after news broke out of a US court sentencing him to life in connection with the death of his three-year-old foster daughter in 2017.

"We have nothing to say," a teary-eyed elderly woman who opened the door of their two-storey house said when his family living here was approached for reaction to the sentence awarded by a jury at Dallas Wednesday.

When she came to know that media persons were at her doorstep, the sobbing woman said, "You know everything."
