Man Extradited from India Due in Court Today
Legal World
A delivery driver extradited from India is due in court charged with the kidnap, rape and murder of Southampton teenager Hannah Foster.
Hannah, 17, was killed as she walked home from a night out in the city with friends in March 2003. Her strangled body was found at the side of a road outside the city.
Maninder Pal Singh Kohli, 39, who has always protested his innocence, left Britain two days after her death and was arrested in India in July 2004.
It followed a trip to the country by Hannah's parents, Trevor and Hilary Foster, to appeal for information.
Following over 100 court appearances, Kohli lost his battle against extradition. Also charged with false imprisonment, manslaughter and perverting public justice, he arrived at Heathrow airport from Delhi on Saturday.
He was taken to Alton police station in Hampshire and is due to appear before Southampton magistrates for a remand hearing on Monday.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
