An Indian court has found five men guilty of gang-raping a Danish tourist at knifepoint in New Delhi. The 52-year-old got lost on the way back to her hotel in January 2014, and stopped to ask a group of men for directions.
Of the nine men who participated in the attack, five were found
guilty in a New Delhi court. One suspect died before the trial
concluded, while three others are being tried in a juvenile court.
Following the attack, the unnamed victim made her way back to the Amax Hotel, where the owner alerted the police.
The victim returned to Denmark after providing a statement to police,
but flew back to India in July 2015 to record a statement in the
presence of a judge and identify her attackers.
All five men pled not guilty, and their defence counsel has said he
is still trying to reopen the trial on appeal, claiming his clients were
framed by the government.
