MADURAI: Madras high court has confirmed the trial court’s conviction and life sentence imposed on an employee for murdering the cashier of a hotel in Virudhunagar in 2012. The deceased Rajamani was cashier at a hotel in Srivilliputhur where appellant Ravi was a daily wager.
Ravi used to demand money from Rajamani frequently. When Rajamani informed the owner about it, he reprimanded the appellant. Following this, Ravi threatened Rajamani and planned to eliminate him. Around 4am on January 17, 2012, when Rajamani was sleeping at the hotel, the appellant strangulated him using a coir rope and escaped. Srivilliputhur Town police investigated the case. A few days later, the appellant surrendered before a tahsildar and gave a confession.
