16 Dec gang rape case accused wanted to kill victim, prosecution tells court
The prosecution in the 16 December gang rape case on Saturday told a court here that the brutal assault meted out to the victim and her male friend by the alleged rapists was with a motive to ‘eliminate’ them so that neither was left alive to narrate the horrific ordeal.
Special public prosecutor Dayan Krishnan in his submission before Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna said that the intestine of the 23-year-old paramedic was damaged with an iron rod, which left her bleeding profusely and finally resulted in her death.
‘The victim’s (girl) intestine was so damaged that it was impossible for her to survive. The system on which the human body works was completely destroyed by the accused persons by using blunt object (the rods).
‘The injuries were done deliberately with an intention to eliminate the victims (the girl and her male friend), with a clear intention to murder them,’ the prosecution said during his final arguments in 16 December gang rape-cum-murder case.
Krishnan, said accused Ram Singh (since deceased), his brother Mukesh, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur, Pawan Gupta and the juvenile, who has been tried by the Juvenile Justice Board, attacked the victim’s male friend with a intention to kill him on the spot.
‘There cannot be a clearer case than this. They wanted to kill both the victim and her friend by trying to run the bus over them. The accused had the clear intention to eliminate them so that there will be no victim to tell the story of the 16 December horrific night,’ he submitted.
