Marvin, the husband of Filipino nurse Mary Grace, who worked at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH), has appealed at the High Court the life sentence handed down to him by the Criminal Court after he was found guilty of her murder.
Although the appeal has been filed on Marvin's behalf, the High Court has not yet decided whether to accept the case.
In the incident, which took place in October 2021, the State sought a life sentence for Marvin (whose name after converting to Islam is Yoosuf) after the murder charge against him was proven, on the grounds that he was the victim's husband and had shown no mercy in the act.
In the same case, Marvin's girlfriend, Haleemath Lamha, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of taking part in a murder, unlawfully exercising force over another person's property, and carrying out an act that requires a permit without obtaining one.
