Maria susairaj, the Kannada actress who was sentenced to three years of imprisonment for murdering TV executive Neeraj Grover with her boy friend former navy officer Emlie Jerome has walked free today completing the jail term in Byculla Jail, Mumbai. Jerome got a term of ten years and he needs to spend seven more years.
Attending a media meet today, Maria reiterated her innocence. Even her lawyer sitting besides provided the images of dead body of Jerome which we know has been chopped into 300 pieces before dumped into the forest area near Thane. But, a new story from Maria now is totally against the theory of cutting the body into pieces.
In her confession before court earlier, Maria said that she was forced to help her fiancé and killer Jerome after the latter stabbed Neeraj to death at her apartment, then raped her at knife point and then forced her to help in destroying the evidence for which she was given three years jail term.
‘I want to forget my past. I don’t want to comment anything on Neeraj and the case,’ said Maira. On other side, Neeraj’s relatives and parents expressed their dissatisfaction on the verdict. They want the case to be reviewed.
