A 29-year-old man was on Friday sentenced to a life term by a court here for murdering a 13-year-old boy in 2011.
The District Court-II Judge, G. Karunanithi sentenced Subhash Gandhi (29) of Kerala, to life for strangulating Aravind to death. K. Sampath, public prosecutor, said Subhash threatened Aravind at knife-point and asked him to part with valuables at his home in August 2011. When Aravind resisted, Subhash strangulated him.
The boy’s death came to light when his mother Jayashree returned home from the private institute where she was working as a tutor. Subhash had also studied at the institute earlier, Mr. Sampath said.
Vishnu Kanchi Police investigated the murder case.
