"NEW YORK: An Indian-American man and his mother were sentenced to life imprisonment by an Ohio court for murdering his wife, allegedly due to domestic tensions over her non-adherence to "Indian customs".
Thirty three-year-old Chetan Patel and his mother Minaxiben, 50, were convicted by a jury last week for aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. A judge in summit county on Wednesday awarded the man a life term with parole possibility after 30 years."

"Minaxiben Patel hung her head, staring at the courtroom floor, throughout most of the sentencing hearing. Defence lawyer Carolyn Mulligan, speaking on behalf of her, said she maintained her innocence "from the day I first met her."
