Former journalist Soumya Vishwanathan was murdered in the national capital on a September night in 2008 while returning from work. After a trial that lasted over a decade, her killers were sentencd for life imprisonment last month. Just two weeks after the sentencing of Soumya Vishwanathan’s killers to life imprisonment, her father, MK Vishwanthan, has passed away.
MK Vishwanthan, who waited 15 years for justice for his daughter, breathed his last this morning. Yesterday marked Soumya’s 41st birth anniversary.
