Seven from Indian family jailed over murders

    Seven members of the same family in India have been jailed for murdering a couple five years ago.

    A local court in the Dwarka district of Gujarat awarded life imprisonment to members of the Chauhan family.

    Puriben Chauhan married her uncle Govindbhai in 2010, against the wishes of her family. Her relatives attacked the couple with sharp weapons in 2014, while they were working in a field.

    Local police said over 30 witnesses were able to prove the charges brought against the family.
