Andhra Pradesh: Accused in Ramya’s murder sentenced to death

A special court for SC/ST cases on Friday convicted Kunchala Sasi Krishna of murdering Nallapu Ramya, and sentenced him to death.

Fourth Additional District Judge Ramgopal pronounced the verdict after concluding hearings in the case, which attracted nationwide attention.

The incident took place on August 15, 2021, between 9.40 a.m. and 10 a.m., at a crowded junction near Sri Srinivasa Vilas Hotel on Kakani Road here. Sasi Krishna, allegedly nursing a grudge against Ramya, for rejecting him, stabbed her repeatedly with a knife inflicting grievous injuries on her neck. The victim died on the spot.
