Six Jailed For Life Over India Gang Rape
An Indian court sentences six men to life in prison for the rape of a Swiss woman who was attacked while cycling with her husband
Six men have been sentenced to life in jail for the gang rape of a Swiss woman in India, according to reports.
"All the accused have been convicted and we are satisfied with the judgement," said the public prosecutor in the case, Rajendra Tiwari, according to the Press Trust of India.
The 39-year-old woman was raped during a cycling trip in the country with her husband in March.
The pair were in the impoverished Madhya Pradesh state when they were attacked. The perpetrators tied up the man and raped the woman in his presence.
They also stole 10,000 rupees (£122) and a mobile phone from the woman.
The rape occurred three months after the fatal gang-rape of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student on a bus in Delhi, which brought simmering anger about the treatment of women in India to the surface.
