Mr. G
I am going to guess that the apple does not fall too far from the tree on this one.
So many cheered when the penalties for rape went up in India over-night. I said the result would be that fewer victims would be allowed to live. When people get in an emotional stupor, they fail to think ahead.

Being that people close to the accused beat the mother of one of the victims, I'm pretty sure you can rule out suicide. Just saying.

Shouldn't an officer be saying the "accused" rapist? Sounds like he's already made up his mind

@cruisin
The two girls are completely unrelated to the case of the mother and daughter. They're two separate cases mentioned because they both happened this week.

Fine people, those...
Seems it's time for India to shape the hell up and get with the times.

Whose fault is this?

Pakistan and India come from the same caste: barbarian.

"The mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons"
The legal reasons being India is not willing to change laws that protect rapists.
"Police said Friday that three people, including a police constable, had been arrested in connection with the attack on the cousins, aged 14 and 15 who were found hanging on Wednesday."
And there you have it; one of the rapists was a police officer himself. I wonder what kind of suspended sentence he'll get. Or it being India, perhaps a silent promotion?
"Mukul Goel, a senior police officer, told AFP that it had still not been determined whether the victims had committed suicide or been strung up as a way of silencing them after they were raped."
Set-ups take time even in devolved communities when such news is international. The fact that they are already suggesting the focus is on potential suicides and not the rapes themselves, with at least one member being internal, is proof they will not take this seriously and will definitely change nothing. How many women being killed in such grisely manners after being raped -- and by police for that matter, will it take? Lock the officer up for life, no parole. Get him to confess and give up the others, no leniency, and honor the two, poor, young women and you might get a bit of support in your efforts to do little more than nothing, and only when you're caught.

??? Perhaps you'd care to explain how protect the victim's identity has anything to do with protecting rapists? Because I haven't the foggest idea what you are trying to say here.

Just curious...but, I wonder why China, with its higher population and same poverty level as India, doesn't have nearly as many of these types of rapes/assaults on its citizens/tourists. Actually, I haven't read any involving China, which is strange, given the Western media's China-bashing tendencies.

OK, so I'm thinking ahead... Using your logic, then eliminating all rape laws would ensure more rape victims are allowed to live... to get raped over, and over, and over. I think I see a flaw in your reasoning. But congratulations (or something) for being "right".
Usually relatives of a rape victim are not named in order to protect the privacy of the victim, not protect the rapist.

I hope they get arrested and never see the sun light again. And that the rapist son gets the word "Rapist" tattooed on his chest, along with a life sentence if he is guilty of the crime.
gelendestrasse
I guess there is no safety for women in India. Pathetic.
The father and son should share in the penalty for their crimes in the same way they share the guilt.

Not forehead? I would do that on the forehead.

Not too sure which is worse, Pakistan or India?? India or Pakistan?? Real nice and classy to not only rape, but HANG these poor girls from a tree?? What in the HELL were these pathetic animals thinking??? Well all I can say, may all of these pathetic dogs BURN and BURN in HELL!! Let KARMA do its job and may women in those countries and all over the world one day live with out this kind of horrible violence.
