Indian murderer in Scotland jail wants to go home
- PTI / The Times of India
LONDON, 8 February 2010: Indian citizen Roshan Dantis, who has been jailed for life in Scotland for brutally murdering a Nepali student and extorting money from her husband, wants to be transferred to a prison in Goa.
Dantis, 30, was imprisoned for life in January, and must serve at least 24 years in jail before being considered for deportation. He is lodged in the Barlinnie prison in Glasgow.
The police in Glasgow described Dantis as "one of the most dangerous murderers Scotland has known."
Dantis has asked his representative, legal company Beltrami Berlow, to lodge an application with the Scottish Government to have him transferred to Goa. He is reportedly keen to meet his mother, who cannot travel to Scotland.
Britain signed an agreement with India in 2005 to allow citizens convicted here to serve their sentence in their native country.
Dantis's solicitor, Matthew Berlow, said: "We're exploring the possibility of my client being transferred to a prison in India. I cannot comment further at present."
The sensational case involved Indian engineering student Dantis, and his close friend, Nepali student Nagendra Shah, 32, and Shah's wife, Khusbu Shah, 23. The Shahs married in Nepal before arriving in Glasgow in 2008.
