An Indian wife in Australia was accused of poisoning her husband with her lover, and the secret diary co-authored with her lover became the key clues to solve the case.
In October 2015, a murder occurred in the Epping district in Melbourne, when a man named Sam Abraham died of cyanide poisoning. After the police investigation, the wife of the deceased Sofia Sam and her secret lover Arun Kamalasanan were suspected of committing the crime.
On 29 Jan, the case was held in Supreme Court of Melbourne. The Crown Prosecutor, Sofia Sam, provided a key proof in court that the two suspects show their love to each other in diary.
Sam, 33, had written this diary since 2013 and later shared it with 35-year-old Kamalasanan. Sam wrote in the diary that "motive to live a free life" and "thought without plans is only a dream" and Kamalasanan wrote that "you are my only one, but you do not belong to me", " You are the right one, and I believe one day you will belong to me. "
It is reported that Sam moved to Melbourne from India in 2012 with her 3-year-old son. Her husband, Abraham, who was working in Dubai, also came to Melbourne for the reunification.
Kamalasanan changed his campus from India to Melbourne in 2013 and fell in love with Sam in July later in the same year. Kamalasanan left his wife and children in India.
The methods by which the two lovers joint hands to poison Abraham are not yet known.
RAJKOT, India (AP) — Daryl Mitchell scored 131 not out off 117 balls as New Zealand beat India by seven wickets in the second one-day international to draw level in the three-match series Wednesday.
Mitchell’s eighth ODI hundred helped the Black Caps score 286-3 in 47.3 overs — in reply to India’s 284-7 (50 overs).
Will Young also scored 87 off 98 balls, as he and Mitchell put on a match-winning 162 off 152 balls for the third wicket. It was the fourth-highest third-wicket partnership for the Black Caps in ODIs.
Mitchell's century topped Lokesh Rahul’s 112 not out off 92 balls. India — put into bat — was 118-4 at one stage, before Rahul played a rescuing hand with his eighth hundred in ODIs.
Medium pacer Kristian Clarke had picked 3-56 in eight overs for the Black Caps.
India won the first ODI in Vadodara by four wickets. Indore will host the decider Sunday.
Earlier, skipper Shubman Gill scored a second consecutive half-century as India made a decent start.
Gill scored 56 off 53 balls, with nine fours and a six, as he put on 70 off 74 balls with Rohit Sharma (24).
Clarke had Sharma caught off a miscue in the 13th over as India’s progress slowed down. Later, Virat Kohli (23) also chopped onto his stumps off Clarke.
In between, Gill failed to carry on from his start while vice-captain Shreyas Iyer (8) too was caught off Clarke in the 22nd over.
Rahul then shepherded the innings as he put on vital lower-order partnerships. He added 73 off 88 balls with Ravindra Jadeja (27) and then another 57 off 49 balls with Nitish Reddy (20).
The keeper-batter reached 50 off 52 balls, and then accelerated toward the end overs to score the next 50 off 35 balls. Overall, his hundred came off 87 balls even as India ended up with a below-par score.
In reply, New Zealand did not start well. Harshit Rana bowled Devon Conway for 16, while Prasidh Krishna bowled Henry Nicholls for 10. The Black Caps were down to 46-2 in 12.4 overs.
Mitchell and Young then came together and stitched together a dominant partnership.
Young scored 50 off 68 balls — his first against India in ODIs as also a first 50-plus score in 12 innings. Mitchell too scored 50 off 52 balls.
While the Indian attack struggled with evening dew, there were also a couple late reprieves for the two batters. The pair survived a run-out chance while Mitchell also gained from a dropped catch, both in the 36th over.
“The run-rate had crept up to seven but once we got into a rhythm, we felt there was an opportunity to put pressure back onto India,” Young said. “We timed it very well. After scoring 300 in the first game, 285 felt like a very chaseable number.”
Kuldeep Yadav — expensive on the day with 1-82 in 10 overs — finally got the breakthrough in the 38th over sending back Young.
It wasn’t enough — Mitchell scored 100 off 96 balls and then sped his way to the finish line, finishing with 11 fours and two sixes.
New Zealand won with 15 balls remaining and sealed its highest ODI chase on Indian soil.
