The court, which found 24-year-old Greeshma guilty of murder on Friday (January 17), reserved the sentencing for today (January 20). “Greeshma betrayed Sharon’s trust. Even on his deathbed. Sharon continued to love Greeshma and hoped she would not be punished,” the court stated in its 586-page verdict.

The court upheld the prosecution’s argument that Greeshma had attempted to kill Sharon while continuing their romantic relationship and that she had exhibited a cruel and heartless mindset. The Additional Sessions Court gave the death penalty observing that this was a rarest of rare cases, and thus her age cannot be taken into consideration.

Sharon’s parents, who expressed their satisfaction with the sentencing, extended their gratitude to the court. “My son has got the justice he deserves,” his mother said.

What did the Court Say?

While pronouncing the quantum of punishment, the court observed, “The act of inviting Sharon over under the pretext of sexual intimacy and subsequently committing the crime cannot be ignored. It is the State’s responsibility to ensure punishment for criminal acts. Evidence such as Sharon recording a video of the suspicious juice, despite Greeshma asking him not to record, indicates that he suspected something was wrong. Sharon fought for his life for 11 days without even consuming a drop of water.”

“It is evident that the crime was premeditated and carried out without provocation. Greeshma’s cunning attempts to cover up her crime were unsuccessful. Her argument of youthful age cannot be considered in light of the severity of the crime. The evidence suggests that Sharon was unaware of Greeshma’s plan to murder him,” the court observed.

ANI reported that the court further observed that Greeshma betrayed the trust of her boyfriend Sharon, manipulating him emotionally. She has no evidence to support claims of mental pressure from Sharon, the court said, adding, “Greeshma’s defence that Sharon had physically abused her also lacks any proof. On the contrary, Sharon had never blamed her in any messages or communications. While Sharon remained committed to the accused, she was simultaneously in contact with her fiance.”
