woman-to-be-hanged_50Sonia would become the first woman to be hanged in Independent India. A death sentence has been passed to her along with her husband who ruthlessly battered their eight family members to death just for the sake of property, which is estimated to billions of rupees.

The couples were residents of Haryana village in Chandigarh, India.

The session’s judge, had sentenced the duo to death, but the Punjab and Haryana High Court, on appeal, commuted the capital punishment to life imprisonment, challenged in the Supreme Court by the Haryana Government and victim’s brother.

Sonia feared that her father would give the entire property to her stepbrother and his wife, she being the daughter of his second wife.

Sonia, along with her husband Sanjeev, who’s also facing the gallows, has decided to appeal for presidential mercy.
