INDIA: SC COMMUTES DEATH PENALTY OF CHILD KILLER

the Indian Supreme Court commuted the death sentence imposed on Rajesh Kumar for murdering to life imprisonment. A bench of Justices D K Jain and Asok Kumar Ganguly found the Delhi high court failed to appreciate that the murders of Kumar's neighbour's two minor children in the capital's Subhashnagar area in 2003 over a financial matter did not fall under the "rarest of rare" category.
