CHENNAI: A woman from Choolaimedu on Saturday was sentenced to life imprisonment by the sessions court for the murder of her house maid. S Rajagopalan, sessions judge, fourth additional city civil court, passed the order.
The victim, Parameshwari, used to work as a domestic help in 32-year-old Priya's house at Sankarapuram Street, for a monthly salary of Rs 2,000. Additional public prosecutor M Prabhavathi, who appeared for the state, established that there were frequent quarrels between the two as Priya did not give her maid her salary on time. Parameshwari had also taken a loan of Rs 15,000 from Priya that she had not repaid which escalated the issue.
Pls help the family and advice us on what has to be done....
