Darpan News Desk IANS, 24 May, 2017 12:34 PM
    An Indian national who was found guilty of the murder of her former lover’s fiancee in 2015 has had her conviction quashed by an Australian court and will face a retrial.
     
    The New South Wales court of Criminal Appeal upheld Manisha Patel’s appeal against the conviction and ordered a retrial, Sydney Morning Herald reported.
     
    The then 32-year-old Patel was found guilty by a jury in July 2015 for allegedly killing 28-year-old Purvi Joshi in 2013 in Sydney.
     
    She was sentenced to a maximum term of 24 years in jail, with a non-parole period of 18 years.
     
    Patel appeared in court via video-link from Silverwater Women’s Correctional Centre.
     
    Joshi had arrived in Australia from India and was planning to marry Niraj Dave, a fellow Indian national who had previously been in a relationship with Patel.
