The Thiruvananthapuram First Additional District and Sessions Court on Friday sentenced two men who were found guilty in the sensational murder case of radio jockey (RJ) Rajesh at Madavoor, near Kilimanoor, five years ago to rigorous imprisonment (RI) for life. The duo has also been imposed a fine of ₹1.4 lakh each.

Judge K.P. Anil Kumar pronounced the verdict against Mohammed Swalih of Oachira and Appunni of Kayamkulam, the second and third accused respectively in the case.

While nine accused had been acquitted for want of evidence, the prime accused, a Qatar-based businessman, remains at large.
