A man from the Indian state of Kerala who r*ped and killed a girl who
was his daughter’s school friend, was on Wednesday given the death
sentence by the Manjeri district court. The convicted man, Palambarathu Abdul Nassar, had earlier been found
guilty by the court of r*ping and killing nine-year-old Salva, and the
verdict was given on Wednesday. The incident happened in April 2012. Salva was going to the local
madrassa school when she dropped into her friend’s home to take her
along. Nassar’s wife and daughter had gone to a neighbouring house to
attend a funeral at that time. According to the prosecution, Nassar dragged Salva inside the house
and defiled her, and fearing that he would be exposed, killed the girl
and hid the body. While handing him the death sentence, the court observed that crimes
against children were on the rise and that the accused did not deserve
mercy.
