During the hearing of the case on Wednesday, additional PP Danny Meetei represented the state while DLSA Bishnupur legal aid counsel advocate Y Ramananda represented the accused.
As per the report submitted by the prosecution, Penu, the wife of Sanakhomba alias Samungou made a report to Bishnupur police station around 4.55 pm on January 3, 2014 stating that her husband had been beheaded by their son Boby.
The report further stated that while the complainant was tending to their garden, her husband Sanakhomba was warming himself by a meiphu (traditional charcoal heater) in the backyard.
Suddenly, her granddaughter (Boby's daughter) ran out of the house in fear.
When the complainant rushed to the backyard, she found Boby beheading Samungou and then fleeing the area.
Acting on the complaint, Bishnupur PS registered an FIR under Section 302 of IPC and launched investigation.
Boby was arrested soon after and police filed a charge sheet against him under Section 302 of IPC at CJM Bishnupur.
CJM Bishnupur then transferred the case to Sessions Court, which then framed charges under Section 302 of IPC against the accused.
After listening to the prosecution's report and the arguments of both the counsels, the court pronounced Boby guilty under Section 302 of IPC and ordered for him to be taken into judicial custody.
It then fixed the sentence hearing on February 27 .
