1. The accused has been convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of two women, Annapurna and Savitri. Savitri was his wife, and she was the daughter of Annapurna who had two sons, P.Ws. 15 and 16. The learned trial Judge has described at some length the history of Annapurna, and it is not necessary for us to repeat it. She apparently was at one time the concubine of P.W. 17, and Savitri and P.W. 16 were children of that union. Annapurna left P.W. 17 fourteen years before her death and appears to have become a prostitute, as a result of which habit P.W. 15 and another child were born. P.W. 17 married P.W. 9. The accused who was employed in the Bengal Nagpur Railway Workshop at Vizagapatam, married Savitri, with the approval of P.W. 17 and Annapurna. That was about three years before Savitris death. Annapurna was the tenant of a house at Vizianagaram, at the time of her death, of which P.W. 17 was the owner. There are many allegations against the character of Annapurna in the evidence it being alleged that she was attempting to lead Savitri into a life of prostitution. The learned Judge, as we have indicated, has dealt fully with this-aspect of the case.
