The case was that a single-handed vagabond Govindachami killed Soumya by pushing her off a speeding train in February 2011. She succumbed to her injuries on 6 February, 2011. The murder had caused a huge public uproar in the state after Supreme Court annulled the death sentence of convict Govindachamy.
