1. The sole appellant Lakhi Boro has been convicted under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to imprisonment for life and fine of Rs.1,000/- with default stipulation.

2. The victims of the incident were Kanduri Boro and Bhogi Boro - both aged 65 years. Kanduri was appellant’s mother whereas Bhogi was his cousin.

3. According to the prosecution case, Kanduri lived with her two sons-appellant and Siraj Boro (PW-2). The appellant had divorced his first wife and re-married to another woman. The appellant’s second wife too therefore lived in the house of Kanduri. Likewise, wife Tapeswari Boro (PW-3) of Siraj also lived with Kanduri. On 29.9.2012, around 6.30 p.m., the appellant returned home and started quarrelling with his second wife. To this behaviour of his, Kanduri objected. The appellant got infuriated even more and reacted in a most inhuman manner. He hacked Kanduri to death with a dao. The appellant then saw Bhogi who had innocently come to ask for lime for chewing tobacco. He, for no rhyme or reason, hacked Bhogi also to death with the same dao. At that time, Siraj and Tapeswari were in the house and they saw the appellant committing the murder
