A local court on Monday (June 12) awarded life imprisonment to a man for killing a woman in January 2022 under the Undi police limits in West Godavari district.
T. Adinarayana killed K. Mounika after she demanded that he should marry her. The duo had been in a live-in relationship after she left her husband.
Bhimavaram DSP B. Srinath said that Mounika had pressurised Adinarayana to marry her as she was impregnated by him. In January 2022, Adinarayana invited her to an ice factory for a meeting and later hacked her to death, he added.
The court also imposed ₹5,000 fine on the convict.
