Serial killer ‘Cyanide’ Mohan was convicted by a local court here in Karnataka in the 20th case against him for the rape and murder of a woman from Kasaragod in Kerala in 2009. Mohan has been awarded the death sentence in five cases and life imprisonment in three. In the final case, the prosecution said the 25-year-old victim, a cook in a ladies hostel in Kasaragod, got acquainted with Mohan in 2009. After Mohan was arrested in October 2009, the victim’s sister identified him and filed a complaint. Crasta has argued the case earlier which was then taken up by Jayaram Shetty.
