A local court today sentenced a man to three years rigorous imprisonment for beating his wife to death three years ago for more dowry.
The prosecution case was Durai, a mini-bus driver, and Devi had a love marriage and three children.
Durai used to beat Devi asking her to bring more money from her house. He beat her up on September 25, 2013 and left home. Neighbours admitted Devi to the hospital where she died and her mother lodged a complaint with police.
Post-mortem revealed that the death was due to beating, following which Durai was arrested and the case was going on at the Mahila Court.
Judge M Sarvamangala sentenced Durai to undergo three years RI and also pay a fine of Rs 5,000.
