'Disgusting' hobby of mum on death row after slitting husband's throat
Ramandeep Kaur Mann, 38, is facing the death penalty after being found guilty of murdering her husband Sukhjit Singh, 34, after lacing his biryani with sedatives A mum is facing execution by hanging on death row, accused of murdering her husband after drugging his biryani and slitting his throat in front of their nine year old son. Derby-based Ramandeep Kaur Mann was convicted of conspiring with her lover to kill her 34 year old husband Sukhjit Singh while they were holidaying in 2016 with their two children, as reported by the Daily Mail. The judge at Shahjahanpur District Court found that Mann had slit Sukhjit's throat after he fell into a deep sleep, aided by her lover Gurpeet Singh. It's believed the gruesome crime was driven by financial motives. Prior to his death, Mann had taken out a £2million life insurance policy for her husband and stood to inherit his property. Mann was found guilty in October 2023, with her son's testimony proving pivotal. Her legal team are now arguing that her son was 'coached' to give false evidence that he witnessed the murder, reports the Mirror. An appeal has been launched by Mann's lawyers, with a document alleging that Arjun - now 18 - was instructed on what to say by his grandmother Bans Kaur - Sukhjit's mother and Mann's mother-in-law. The document also accuses police and relatives of colluding to fabricate the case against her, according to the Daily Mail. Mann has consistently denied committing the murder. She alleges she was set up by her husband's family who, she claims, were the actual murderers of Sukhjit as they wanted to stop him from selling land he owned in India. Currently detained at Shahjahanpur District Jail in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Mann is sharing dormitory-style accommodation with 55 other female inmates. Since her imprisonment, Mann has embraced painting, and her appeal emerges as fresh images surfaced showing her displaying her creations whilst meeting local dignitaries as her standing as an artist gains recognition. She met local officials who toured the facility earlier this year to commemorate India's Republic Day, just weeks following Mann's participation in a Christmas showcase of her prison artwork. Charity representatives have also called on Mann to examine her creations, which feature a vibrant array of sketches and paintings, though not everyone welcomes the development of Mann's newfound artistic abilities. Bans Kaur, Sukhjit's mother, told MailOnline: "She does not deserve any applause and has no right to celebrate Christmas or any other occasion while I continue to suffer. I will be speaking to the jail officials about this. For the sins that she has committed, she should be suffering in a cell not being given a chance to paint and have a comfortable life. "She is a cunning and evil woman, and I don't believe for one minute she has changed. This [her art] is all being done for her appeal against the death sentence and is an attempt to win favour with the jail authorities. It's absolutely disgusting. "It's ridiculous to suggest that I 'tutored' Arjun and got him to lie. He gave a very long statement which had a lot of detail in it. How could we have got him to make all this up? How can you tell any teenager what to say? We will be challenging this appeal because there is no doubt that this woman murdered my son. "I will fight to the end to get justice for my son because what this woman did is unforgiveable. I don't care how good she is at art or what a model prisoner she has become because it means nothing." Following his mother's conviction, Arjun told MailOnline he did not regret giving evidence against Mann and that he wanted to watch her hang. He said he saw his mother smother his father with a pillow before her lover Gurpreet struck Sukhjit in the head with a hammer and Mann then slit her husband's throat.

Jalandhar: Another suspect held with heroin, 3 pistols in 13kg drug bust case
Jalandhar The police have registered a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Arms Act against the accused. (HT photo for representation) The Jalandhar commissionerate police have arrested one more suspect in connection with the cross-border smuggling of 13 kilograms of heroin. The arrested suspect, identified as Sukhjit Singh, alias Sukha, from Bishamberpura village in Amritsar district, was found in possession of 100 grams of heroin, three illegal .32-bore pistols, and six live cartridges. Commissioner of police Dhanpreet Kaur Randhawa confirmed the arrest and said Sukhjit had a prior criminal record. His arrest followed an investigation into an interstate drug smuggling case in which two other suspects, Shivam Sodhi and Barinder Singh, were apprehended in May with 13kg of heroin, five illegal firearms and three luxury vehicles. The police have registered a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Arms Act against Sukhjit. Officials revealed that both Sodhi and Barinder have long-standing involvement in the illegal drug trade. While Sodhi had been active in smuggling operations for the past six months, Barinder has extensive links within the drug smuggling network, which are currently under investigation. 'Both suspects have confessed to smuggling heroin from Pakistan via their international links,' said Randhawa. 'During investigation, it emerged that the accused accumulated substantial wealth, including movable and immovable properties, funded by drug money.' Police also disclosed that transactions linked to the accused's family members have been traced to their bank accounts. In light of this, authorities have begun the process of acquiring the properties under Section 68F of the NDPS Act, which allows for the seizure or freezing of illegally acquired assets.
