Graham Staines murder case: Rejected convict Dara Singh’s remission plea, Odisha tells Supreme Court
The Supreme Court rejected a plea for remission from Dara Singh, convicted for the 1999 murder of missionary Graham Staines and his sons. The Orissa High Court had reduced his death penalty to life imprisonment in 2005, a decision the Supreme Court affirmed in 2011. The court now declined to reduce his sentence any further.
