Lawyers can love and kill – in Court

A jilted lover, also a lawyer, chose the hallowed precincts of the Karnataka High Court to kill a lady lawyer. Love or the lack of it is said to be the reason for the murder. Even as stunned lawyers looked on, outside Court Room No.4, the assailant used a small knife to slit the throat of the young lady lawyer – blood gushed out of and she died almost instantly. The assailant also stabbed himself, but may survive to face prosecution. This gory incident took place yesterday afternoon.
