The family of late Vikash Chandra who lost his life in 2004 after being stabbed during a robbery at his Namadi Heights home, finally got justice, after the accused Sailosi Volivale was put behind bars for 18 years.

The court heard that on the 7th November 2004, Voliovale and a group of men entered Navin Chandra's house armed with pinch bars and knives and threatened his family members and demanded money from them. During the robbery Volivale stabbed Vikash with a kitchen knife and he later died as a result of the injuries.

Judge Justice Daniel Goundar while passing the sentence said that Volivale had terrorized and robbed the family when they were asleep, and then stabbed the victim to death. Meanwhile Volivale had eight previous convictions of robbery with violence and indecent assault which he had committed during his bail period, and for which he was serving a sentence of seven years.
 
Volivale was found guilty of murder, burglary and robbery with violence and he was today sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, with a fixed term of 18 years, that he has to serve before being eligible for parole, two years for burglary and 10 years imprisonment for robbery with violence.
