The murders took place on the night of February 5, 2006, and were supposedly motivated by the discovery of an intimate relationship between Soni and Sharafat, neighbors in a Mereut village.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the couple was forced tasks within the defendant’s house and then found dead. Sharafat’s body had multiple injuries (broken ribs, lacerated lungs and bruises, while Soni had signs of ashíxiation and fractured hyoid bones, which indicates strangulation. The autopsy confirmed that it had been hanged and attacked before death.

However, the court refused to rule out his previous statements and corroborated evidence, ruling that the registered material was sufficient for the conviction.
“A law is established that a man can say a lie, but the circumstances cannot. Only the witnesses who then delivered hostile have admitted that both the deceased person was killed,” the court observed. He stressed that the hostile witnesses deposited that some unknown people had killed the couple, they did not attribute any reason for such an act. The recurring, however, had enough reasons or “dishonors.”
