17 yrs in jail for an Indian beater in Australia

Melbourne, Jun 29: Sukhmander Singh,an Indian national was sentenced to 17 years imprisonment by the Victorian Supreme Court for
the murder of his wife Mohinder Kaur.

Mohinder was beaten to death with a wooden stake by Singh on Valley Lake Boulevard at Niddrie on May 7, 2009. Mohinder used to abuse his wife almost every day and beating would happen almost once a week.

Judge Terry Forrest said that there is no soft corner for Sukhmander Singh, who killed his wife Mohinder Kaur and abused her for years.
