Imphal, August 19, 2012:
A couple was thrashed to death by an incensed mob on the charge of killing five year old Maibam Miranda.
Maibam Miranda d/o Joykumar of Wabagai Tentha Thambal Chingya who went missing since August 12 was found dead near a Government seed farm, located about 800 metres away from her home on August 14. While many organisations were decrying the remorseless killing, one Samjetshabam Suranjoy alias Itobi (42) s/o Modhuchandra of Wabagai Tentha Thambal Chingya was rounded up from Keirak and clubbed to death by a mob at Wabagai Turel Mamei yesterday afternoon.
Suranjoy's wife Amutombi (42) too sustained grievous injuries when she was attacked by another mob at Keirak Kangjeibung shortly after.
But when police, after bringing the mob under control, took Amutombi to Kakching CHC, she was declared brought dead.
Bodies of the dead couple have been deposited in JNIMS mortuary while the corpse of Miranda has been claimed by family members after post mortem at JNIMS today.
Suranjoy and Amutombi left behind five sons whose ages range from 22 to 5 years.
