Mangaluru, Feb 18: Notorious serial killer 'Cyanide' Mohan has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a court here for the murder of a 23-year old woman from Kasaragod district of Kerala in 2006.
That was the 19th of the 20 murder cases slapped against him.

Like in all other cases, the next morning, Mohan asked the woman to remove her ornaments. The two went to the KSRTC bus stand where he asked her to consume a pill convincing her that it was a contraceptive. However, it was laced with cyanide.
The woman, who consumed the pill in the washroom, collapsed and was declared brought dead at a hospital.
As in previous cases, Mohan went back to the lodge and left the place along with her ornaments.
He was arrested later from Bantwal in 2009, after which he admitted to killing 20 women.
