In a significant legal development, the court found Chenthamara guilty of committing a double murder in Nenmara, Kerala. The accused was the only individual charged in the case, which has drawn extensive local attention since the incident occurred.

During the court proceedings, observers noted that Chenthamara appeared remorseless as the verdict was read aloud. When the presiding judge asked if he had a statement to make regarding the conviction, the accused reportedly told the court to 'hang' him.

The judiciary has concluded the evidentiary phase and determined that the prosecution successfully proved the charges against the defendant. The court will now deliberate on the appropriate punishment, with the final sentencing hearing set for mid-July.

Reports indicate that the defense and prosecution will present final arguments regarding the severity of the sentence during the upcoming session. This information was reported via local source excerpts.
