A local court on Friday sentenced three persons to life imprisonment for strangling a 48-year-old woman to death with a rope in Rajamahendravaram city on December 2, 2013.
In an official release, East Godavari Superintendent of Police D. Narasimha Kishore said that three persons, identified as D. Naga Mahesh, D. Lakshmana Rao and Nakka Chandu, have been convicted by a local court in the 2013 murder case.
