Court observed that the horror of what happened is all too apparent and murders of five persons in one go reflects maniacal nature and disregard of the accused for human life.
Principal Sessions Judge RS Jain further observed that both of the accused had come all the way from Madhya Pradesh to Jammu having done your planning to commit offence and if during the commission of offence, there would be a need to kill people, it would be done and so, you had no qualm in taking out the life out of five persons.
