NEW DELHI — A court yesterday handed down the death penalty to a former politician convicted of shooting his wife and burning her dismembered corpse in the tandoor (oven) of an open-air restaurant. Additional Sessions Judge G.P. Thareja on Monday pronounced Sushil Sharma guilty of murdering his wife Naina Sahni, 29, in July 1995 and burning her body parts in the grill of the Baghiya restaurant in New Delhi to try to get rid of the evidence.
| A number of questions pop to mind immediately, aside from the question of whether he'd ever considered divorce. What was the cook saying as Sushil was tossing the little woman's head into the oven? Did patrons notice a slightly different odor as they stopped by for chicken? Did he have to make two trips to dispose of her bosom?... |
