TWO brothers who raped a minor girl before burning her alive have been sentenced to death in a landmark case in India.
The vile monsters, identified as Kalu, 25, and Kanha, 21, were found guilty on Saturday of rape and murder in the horrific incident that took place in August last year.
Kalu Kalbeliya, 25, has been given a death sentence in the chilling case
The Indian court also found Kanha, 21, guilty of raping and murdering the 14-year-old child
Special Public Prosecutor Mahavir Kisanawat said: “Magistrate Anil Gupta of the Bhilwara POCSO court declared the two main suspects guilty in the event.”
The chilling case and the landmark verdict have been classified as “rarest of the rare”.
The victim’s distraught parents were also present during the hearing who finally said: “We have got justice”.
“My daughter got justice today. I couldn’t eat properly in the last few months. Now I will have food with peace,” the mother of the victim said.
The cruel incident happened last year after the victim – who can not be named – was reported to have gone missing after going out to work in a field.
A case was filed by the victim’s family shortly after she failed to return back home.
But the girl’s brother – who went out to search for her – grew suspicious after he saw a burning furnace near their home which then caught his attention.
Cops investigating the case told the Times of India: “The girl’s brother saw several charcoal furnaces set up by the people of a nomadic community.
“Smoke billowing from one of the kilns drew his attention and made him suspicious as they were not active in the evening.
“He rummaged through the kiln with a stick and sifted through the charred items.”
The heartbroken boy found his sister’s bracelet, one he had given her just days before the indescribable horror.
Several body parts and charred clothing were recovered from the kiln by specialist forensic experts, while other remains were found discarded in the surrounding area.
It was concluded the young girl had tragically been set alight whilst she was still alive after evil killers doused her in flammable liquids.
