Indian murder suspect caught after 49 years says: ‘I barely remember it’
- Sitaram Bhatane was 27 when he allegedly killed 70-year-old widow Mani Shukla; each year police went to his village hundreds of miles away, but he was never there
- Then, for an election this month, an inspector asked officers to round up various criminals, and they happened to find a limping, balding, hard-of-hearing Bhatane
