TEHRAN An Indian court Wednesday sentenced a man to death for stabbing his pregnant wife to death and strangling his daughter, officials said in New Delhi.
Describing it as a case of "cold-blooded murder," the New Delhi court said 31-year-old Ashok Kumar Pandey would be hanged for his crimes.
Pandey inflicted 20 stab wounds on his wife Neelam and strangled his 19-year-old daughter on the night of September 11, 1996 at their residence.
