So sad

Indian gang-rape victim cremated, was due to marry

She was to wed in February. According to the article, her fiancé and she were lured onto a bus by six men on December 15th. They thought the bus would take them home. Instead they endured a 40-minute attack by the drunken men before being stripped and thrown off the bus. The young woman is said to have been attacked with an iron bar, which did horrible internal damage, from which she died. The alleged attackers have been arrested and are facing the death penalty, which is rarely used in India except in particularly heinous crimes. I think this one counts.
