The horrific murder of 29-year-old Payal had shocked the city back in 2010.
Nine years after Payal Surekha, a software professional in Bengaluru was found murdered in her flat in a case that had shocked the city, a special CBI court sentenced James Ray, a gym trainer, to life imprisonment for the murder on Wednesday. In the horrific murder, 29-year-old Payal was bound and stabbed 23 times by the accused James Ray, who worked at a fitness centre run by Payal's husband Ananth Narayana Mishra. Ray was sacked due to misbehaviour and alleged financial irregularities. James blamed Payal, a senior technical assistant at Dell in the city, for his dismissal and plotted for weeks to kill her at her apartment in JP Nagar in the city, the Times of India reported. James was also fined Rs 1 lakh. SK Umesh, who was then the inspector of JP Nagar Police Station, arrested James and recovered a blood stained knife and a pair of goggles from him. James had reportedly used the goggles before hiding it in an isolated place in Puttenahalli. The police said that James committed the murder to take revenge on Payal, The Hindu reported. The murder had shaken the city back in 2010 and the case made headlines for weeks. Her family had even accused the husband Ananth of committing the murder. Payal's parents later approached the Supreme Court seeking a CBI enquiry into the role of their son-in-law Anantha Narayan Mishra in the murder. Supreme Court directed CBI to investigate the case in August 2013.The CBI re-examined the evidence and concluded that James killed Payal and tried to implicate her husband, who was in Cuttack at the time, in the murder.
