IndiaThe verdict in the Pothundy twin murder case is scheduled for July 6, 2026. The case involves Chenthamara, who is already serving double life imprisonment for the 2019 murder of his neighbor Sajitha. While on bail in that case, he killed Sajitha's husband, Sudhakaran, and his mother, Lakshmi, in January 2025. The police indicated that the motive was Chenthamara's enmity toward Sajitha and her family. Investigators noted lapses by the police, including breaches of bail conditions that allowed the accused to return to the area. Alathur DySP N. Muraleedharan led the investigation, with M.K. Vijayakumar representing the prosecution and Jacob Mathew and Mohammed Hashim defending the accused.
