Aarushi-Hemraj murder verdict: Quantum of sentence for parents today

New Delhi, Nov 26: Nupur and Rajesh Talwar, after being convicted by a special court in

, were taken to the Dasna jail. The quantum of sentence for the duo, who have been alleged of killing their only daughter-Aarushi and domestic help-Hemraj, will be held today.

There were lots of twists and turns in the case as the evidences did not corroborate. Rajesh's statements in the FIR were conclusive, pinning Hemraj, as the prime suspect. However, even he was found dead on the terrace of the house. The Talwars are highly disappointed by the judgement, no doubt, but now that they are convicted of something they may not have done at all, they have to find a different way to defend themselves.

Inside the courtroom, the judge read out from a 204 -page judgement using the following exact words:

"Now is the time to say omega in this case. To perorate, it is proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused are perpetrators of the crime in the question. The parents are the best protectors of their own child that is in order of human nature but they have been freaks in the history of mankind where the father and mother became the killer of their own progeny. They have extirpated their own daughter who had hardly seen 14 summers of her life and the servant without compunction from terrestrial terrain in the breach of commandment "Thou shalt not kill"

After the verdict yesterday, the Talwars issued a statement saying that would appeal against the verdict and move the higher courts. Meanwhile, the nation awaits justice, uncertain as to who should be on the defensive.
