A man has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a local court for killing his father, a police officer, three years ago.
District and Sessions judge M S Dhal awarded life imprisonment to Debi Prasad Behera of Goshaninuagon yesterday for stoning to death his father and police officer Hadibandhu Behera on April 11, 2011.
The man's father was posted as an assistant sub-inspector of police at Kasinagar in Gajapati district and was on a visit to his home at Goshaninuagon when he was killed by his son, a school dropout, over a family dispute.
The court also slapped a fine of Rs 10,000 on the convict failing which he would have to undergo an additional jail term for two years.
