A Bhagalpur court has sentenced the accused to life imprisonment in the murder of Renuka Devi, whose decapitated body bore deep wounds. The conviction came after DNA evidence linked the suspect to the crime, two years after the incident.
The murder of Renuka Devi was reported from Bhagalpur, Bihar, where her body was found with deep wounds and her head missing. Police initially struggled to identify the perpetrator due to the lack of recognizable features.
Forensic experts later conducted DNA analysis on biological samples recovered from the scene. The genetic profile matched that of a suspect who was subsequently taken into custody.
Based on the DNA evidence, the Bhagalpur sessions court convicted the accused and awarded him life imprisonment. The verdict brings closure to a case that had remained unsolved for two years, highlighting the role of forensic science in criminal investigations.
