A court here sentenced to death a 28-year-old man whomurdered his parents, who had adopted him, and his pregnant wife in 2008,terming him a menace to society.
"The convict (Nitin) is a menace to the society. Whenhe did not spare his own parents and wife and killed them in cold blood, whatrespect he would show for the lives of others," Additional Sessions JudgeVirender Bhat said.
The court called the convict a live bomb, which has thepotential of causing a huge catastrophe, if not destroyed at the earliest.
"I am of the opinion that the life imprisonment wouldbe altogether inadequate punishment in this case, having regard to the natureof crime and manner and circumstances in which it was committed," Bhatsaid, terming the case among those rarest of rare cases that have shocked thecollective conscience of the society.
"There was no justification at all for the convict tocommit the grotesque killings. The convict appears to be without anyremorse," the judge said.
The case dates back to April 2008, when Nitin killed hispregnant wife after she opposed his extramarital affair. He also killed hisparents.
