Son of British Woman Facing Death Penalty Says He Wants to Watch Her Execution

The son of a British mum facing the death penalty in India has said he wants to watch her hanged.

Ramandeep Kaur Mann was convicted after trial of killing husband Sukhjit Singh, with the help of her secret lover Gurpreet Singh while on a family trip to India in 2017.

Ramandeep laced her husband’s biryani with sedatives before smothering him with a pillow as he slept. Gurpreet then bashed childhood friend Sukhjit over the head with a hammer, with Ramandeep finally slitting his throat, reports the the Birmingham Mail.

The brutal murder in Banda, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, was said to be over Sukhjit’s £2 million life insurance policy.

Ramandeep’s eldest son Arjun, who was nine at the time, helped secure his mother’s conviction. He woke up and witnessed the horrific killing. He even gave evidence against his mum in court, Daily Mail reports.

Ramandeep’s legal team has since claimed Arjun was was ‘tutored’ to provide false and that relatives fabricated the case against her.

They are now appealing her conviction. But Arjun – whose family is from from Littleover, Derby – has said that he does not regret giving evidence in court and wants to watch his mum being hanged.

He said: “There are not many children who watch their mother kill their father and then give evidence about it.

“How do you try and get on with your life after something like this?

“I’ve had to be very brave and I’m proud of what I’ve done because I’ve got justice for my father.

“My brother and me don’t think of this woman as my mother anymore, she’s evil.

“We want nothing to do with her. As far as I’m concerned, she stopped being a mother to us the moment she murdered our father.”

Commenting on her death sentence, he said: “I would like to be there when it happens.

“It doesn’t fill me with fear, in fact, it would give me a lot of satisfaction and relief and I look forward to that day.

“I would like all my family to be there with me. I would like to see with my own eyes that justice for my father has been served.

“She deserves to hang because she did such an evil thing she did.”
