Sanda’s family members had wept as she was sentenced and whisked away. Her trial had extended for 3 years since November 2017 when she was charged with culpable homicide.
According to the charge sheet, Sanda was said to have stabbed her husband with broken bottles at about 3:50am.
She had pleaded not guilty to the crime.
She has since been defended by an activist on twitter who claimed that men are sometimes capable of enraging women to the point of violence.
