In a shocking turn of events, a British woman, Ramandeep Kaur Mann, has been sentenced to death by hanging in India for her involvement in the murder of her husband, Sukhjeet Singh.
The court’s decision was influenced by the heinous act of poisoning her family members, followed by slitting her husband’s throat on September 2, 2016, with the alleged motive of securing a £2 million life insurance payout.
The court in India meticulously examined the case, revealing a chilling plot executed by Kaur Mann upon her return from a month-long family holiday to Sukhjeet’s hometown of Shahjahanpur.
She had been in a relationship with her husband for 11 years before committing this dreadful act. Her sinister plan began with poisoning a meal intended for several family members, but her eldest son, fortunately, did not consume it.
On the morning of September 2, 2016, Sukhjeet’s lifeless body was discovered on the first floor of the house, where he had been sleeping with his family. The rest of the family, including Sukhjeet’s mother Vansh Kaur, was sleeping on the ground floor.
The case unfolded further as it was revealed that Kaur Mann’s accomplice, Gurpreet Singh, was sentenced to life in prison. The investigation exposed not only the murder but also the relationship between the two individuals.

The court found both Kaur Mann and Gurpreet guilty of murder and the offense of criminal acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention. In a significant statement, the judge referred to the case as the “rarest of rare,” emphasizing the extensive damage inflicted.
He stated, “Not only Sukhjeet was murdered but the remaining years of an elderly widow were killed, the childhood as well as the youth of two minor children was exterminated. The children have lost the happiness which they had when their father was alive.”
In response to the verdict, Sukhjeet’s mother expressed relief outside the court, expressing her gratitude that her son’s killer had been sentenced to capital punishment.
She stated, “I feel relieved. My prayers were answered, and I got what I was expecting from the court. I was demanding capital punishment for Ramandeep so that no mother’s child dies like this.”
This tragic case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of heinous crimes on families and communities, and the pursuit of justice for victims and their loved ones.
