Hyderabad, May 27

A court in Telangana’s Jogulamba-Gadwal district has sentenced a man who killed 17 women to life imprisonment. The serial killer, Yerukali Srinu (47), used to target women at a country liquor shop. The court has awarded him the sentence for murder in one case where the Additional District Magistrate held him guilty for the murder of Chitti Alivelamma (53).

Srinu was arrested in 2019 in Alivelamma murder case and it was during the investigations that he confessed to have killed 16 other women over the last 10 years. Srinu’s wife Salama was also arrested for keeping stolen jewellery.

Srinu would befriend women who came to drink, ask them to go with him for a picnic, kill them and take away their ornaments.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
