The family of the New Delhi woman who was gang raped and murdered in December slammed a court verdict that sent a teenager convicted of attacking her to three years in a reform home and demanded he be hanged.
The brother of the victim said he tried to attack the teenager in court and broke down in tears when the verdict was announced on Aug. 31. The defendant, who was 17 at the time of the attack and is now 18, should face the death penalty like four other men being tried for the same crimes in a separate, specially convened fast-track adult court, the brother said.
