On 18th October, 1984, Mrs. Y was found dead on her bedroom floor with snake bites all over her face and limbs. According to neighbours, they had an extremely heated argument, at the end of which their next doors neighbour, Mr. T saw Mr. X storming out of the house.
Allegedly Mr. X let the snake loose in the room and left the house for the night. He was found by the police the next day at his friend’s house nearby, when they were called by the postman when he found Mrs. Y.
When the father of Mrs. Y, Mr. A was questioned he revealed that two days before the incident, Mr. X had called him up and threatened to harm him or Mrs. Y if he did not give him the dowry.
