Three years after a gruesome triple murder rocked the city,the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Raj Rahul Garg convicted a man and two others on Thursday for killing his parents and an aunt in Sector 34. The quantum of sentence will be pronounced on February 14.

The murders took place on the intervening night of February 6 and 7 in 2006. The accused,Pawandeep Singh,was accused of conspiring with Anil Tyagi and Ravikant Tyagi to kill his father,retired group captain T P Singh,mother Shibani and aunt Ajit Kaur. A family discord was cited as the motive behind the murders.

The prosecution was backed by strong circumstantial evidence as the reports of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory and the DNA of the accused were enough to prove the case against them, said public prosecutor Manu Kakkar. He said while Pawandeep later confessed to the crime,his brother supported the prosecution theory and said Pawandeep had strained relations with their parents.
