Les parents de la victime, qui espéraient la peine de mort, se sont dits « choqués » de la décision du tribunal. Il ne s’agit pas du « plus rare des rares cas », a estimé le juge.
A court in India has sentenced a man to life in prison for the rape and murder of a doctor in Calcutta.
While the crime sparked nationwide outrage due to the prevalence of violence against women in India, the judge ruled against the death penalty, stating that the case didn't meet the "rarest of the rare" criteria.
The victim's parents, who had pleaded for the death penalty, expressed shock and grief at the sentencing.
