Session judge, Imphal West today convicted 41 years old, Khulem Jiten under section 302, 307 IPC and 27 Arms Act for murdering his own uncle, Khulem Krishnamohan and attempting to murder another uncle in the evening of June 30, 2015 using his license revolver.
According to the judgment order passed by the court, it stated that the case was set in motion on a written complaint lodged by one of the family members of the deceased to police about the incident on June 30, 2013.
Based on the complaint, a case was registered by Lamphel Police under section 307/326 and 27 Arms Act for investigation against Jiten.
On February 1, 2016, a charge was framed against the convict under section 302/ 307 IPC and 27 Arms Act and the convict on being asked on that day pleaded not guilty and claimed for trial.
While Jiten was produced before the court, state police took up extra precautionary measure to refrain from any unwanted incident which might have taken place.
During the trial of the case, Jiten was on bail until police arrested him for allegedly killing another uncle, Khulem Tomba, who is one of the prosecution witnesses of the trial case against him on July 27, for not allowing him to enter and stay at his residence.
The court has fixed September 20 for announcing the quantum of punishment to be given against the convict.
