Kerala Court Sentences Greeshma to Death for Poisoning Boyfriend Sharon Raj

The 23-year-old victim was killed with pesticide-laced herbal medicine in a premeditated act; Greeshma's uncle also received a prison sentence.

Greeshma was convicted of murdering her boyfriend Sharon Raj by poisoning him with pesticide-laced ayurvedic decoction in October 2022.
The Neyyattinkara Additional Sessions Court sentenced Greeshma to death, citing the premeditated and unprovoked nature of the crime.
Sharon's dying declaration and forensic evidence were crucial in securing the conviction, along with a video he recorded of the suspicious drink.
Greeshma's uncle, Nirmalakumaran Nair, was sentenced to three years of rigorous imprisonment for obstructing justice, while her mother was acquitted.
The court rejected Greeshma's claims of mental pressure and abuse, noting her simultaneous engagement to another man during her relationship with Sharon.
