Three men have been awarded death penalty by a Delhi court for brutally murdering three family members, including a child, with a motive to rob their house nearly a decade ago.
The court said it was a "rarest of rare" case as the three murders were committed in "extremely brutal, diabolical, revolting and dastardly" manner and they have shocked the collective conscience of the society. Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Kamini Lau awarded capital punishment to Uttar Pradesh residents Surender, 32, Vijay Pal, 27, and Virender, 33, and imposed a fine of Rs. 1.1 lakh on each of them. The court said out of the fine amount, Rs. three lakh be given to family of the victims. According to police, the brutal killings took place in a house in Rohini when the three accused murdered 54-year-old Mridula Kishore, her 28-year-old son Rajesh Kishore and her nine-year-old grandson Ankit. After murdering them, the accused took away jewellery and Rs. one lakh cash from the house.
