In a big victory for India and reprieve for Kulbhushan Jadhav, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Wednesday ordered Pakistan not to execute him and asked it to reconsider the sentence awarded to him by a military court.
The accused strangled her and then submerged her in a bathtub of water. He was arrested by international authorities and extradited back to the US, reports said.
India has urged the ICJ to cancel Kulbhushan Jadhav's death sentence and order his immediate release, saying the verdict by a Pakistani military court was based on a "farcical case".
Arumugam Veerasamy, who was wanted for culpable homicide since 1986, managed to evade authorities for more than 30 years, as his name was misspelt on his work permit and in the police gazette issued against him, reported the Channel News Asia.
