Seven members of a family have been sentenced to life imprisonment by a local court in Himachal Pradesh for killing a man.
The court in Chamba district, some 350 km from here, Saturday found the seven people of Riyana village, including three women, guilty of brutally killing a certain Prem Singh over a land dispute.
The seven accused reportedly ganged up and attacked Singh with sticks, sickles and a shovel in March 2004.
The family has also to pay a penalty of Rs.10,000 each, failing which the sentence would increase by two years for each individual.
