New Delhi : Aarushi-Hemraj murder case: Verdict tomorrow
Highlights
Aarushi-Hemraj Murder Case: Verdict Tomorrow, Clinical Precision, India's Most Sensational Criminal. Rajesh and Nupur Talwar from Noida are accused of murdering their only child, 14-year-old Aarushi, and their 45-year-old domestic worker Hemraj by slitting their throats "with clinical precision".
New Delhi: One of India's most sensational criminal trials -- which has raised issues of police incompetence, sex with servants and media ethics -- comes to a close on Monday when a dentist couple will learn if they are to be convicted of killing their daughter.
Rajesh and Nupur Talwar from Noida are accused of murdering their only child, 14-year-old Aarushi, and their 45-year-old domestic worker Hemraj by slitting their throats "with clinical precision".
The murder case from 2008 has created a nation of armchair detectives debating every twist in the investigation and trial, turned theTalwars into household names, and polarised public opinion. CBI says Aarushi was killed in a fit of rage when her parents found her with the servant in a "objectionable" situation while the couple insist they are victims of a botched police probe and vigilante justice. "I never believed such a thing could happen to us. I believed in the Indian justice system," Rajesh told AFP in a recent interview outside the decrepit courtroom where the witness stand is held together by rope.
The prosecution concedes there is no forensic or material evidence against the pair, basing its case on the "last-seen theory" -- which holds that the victims were last seen with the accused.
