Three arrested for sexually assaulting, murdering minor girl (10year old) at Kamatchipuram in Theni district. In the postmortem the government doctor found the girl was sexually assaulted before the murder. The three accused persons were of 19, 25 and 23 years in age.
The facts are: girl is a minor. Not only sexually assaulted but murdered too.
What authority or a social right these persons had over the minor girl for gang rape and murder? Modern social thinkers and some jurists might think leniently and award a punishment less than death.
Visionary like late Justice Krishna Iyer and some editors of newspapers may strongly plead for abolition of capital punishment!
