LUCKNOW, India — Officials at the Mathura district jail in Uttar Pradesh state are preparing to execute an 11-year-death-row-inmate, Shabnam Ali, who was convicted for killing seven members of her family in 2008. If the execution proceeds, Ali will be the first woman to be hanged to death in India since 1947.
“We have placed an order for the rope and are just waiting for a fresh death warrant to execute her by hanging,” a senior jail official stated . “There are lots of procedures and legal works to do before the hanging takes place,” he added.
