Nisham is a threat to society: Prosecution

Thrissur: With the trial court in Chandrabose murder case expected to announce the quantum of sentence to the convict Mohammed Nisham on Thursday afternoon, the focus has now turned on whether the business magnet will get the noose.

Speaking to DC, the special public prosecutor C P Udyabhanu said he was confident that it would be capital punishment.

“I told the trial court after it found him guilty of murder that the convict with his criminal antecedents was a threat to the society. The courts often talk about the aggravating and mitigating circumstance before showing leniency to the convict.

"But in this case, a man from a poor family who struggle to make booth ends meet was used for ‘pleasure hunting’ by a millionaire.

"The dying person was stamped on his head and chest at the parking lot, and the convict was then shouting to those who arrived to take the profusely bleeding victim to the hospital that ‘this dog will not die’,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nisham’s wife Amal Nisham, the 12th prosecution witness, is facing a case for perjury after she deviated from the CrPC 164 statements that she had given to the magistrate.

She had said that Nisham was unwilling to take the victim to the hospitalbut later told the trial court that he was ready to take the victim to the hospital.

First prosecution witness K. C. Anoop, who turned hostile on the first day of the trial, turned loyal the subsequent days.
