New Delhi:The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the October 16 execution of a Haryana woman, Sonam, accused of murdering seven members of a family, including four children in 2009 by joining hands with her boy friend.

The apex court, which had already stayed the execution of her boy friend Naveen Kumar, directed the present appeal to be tagged along with Naveen Kumar’s appeal. The Punjab and Haryana High Court in June this year had confirmed the death sentences awarded to a 27-year-old Haryana woman and her 28-year-old boyfriend by a Rohtak court in 2014 for poisoning and strangulating seven members of her family, including four children, in September 2009.
