The City Diary

Life term for four

B>nFour men were sentenced to life imprisonment on Friday for killing a young couple in Golabari, Howrah, in 2005. The convicts, all in their 30s, would also have to pay a fine of Rs 5,000, failing which their jail term will be increased by six months. Raja Mullick, 32, and wife Rekha, 27, were at a wedding reception on December 11, 2005, when Rahul Mullick, Suraj Mullick, Ajay Mullick and Mohan Mullick dragged the husband out and hacked him with knives. The gang slit Rekha’s throat when she rushed to Raja’s rescue.

Murder arrest

B>nRabi Karmakar, a rickshaw-puller, was arrested in Bosekathi, Bally, on Friday for allegedly murdering 34-year-old homemaker Soma Singh. Soma’s decomposed body was found in a trunk in her Bally home on May 18. Soma’s husband Rajesh, absconding for three months, was last seen travelling in Karmakar’s rickshaw by neighbours.
