Coimbatore: In an exemplary punishment, a 32-year-old man was awarded double death sentence and two life imprisonments by a court on Tuesday for brutally murdering a woman and her two children, including a 11-month old baby, in June last year.

Mahila Court Judge M P Subramanian held Senthil guilty of the triple murder over enmity with his previous landlord and awarded two capital punishments - one each for the murder of the children - and life imprisonment for killing the woman.
