A 31-year-old from Kolkata, India Female doctor intern On August 8 last year, he was sexually assaulted and then murdered by a hospital volunteer in a hospital conference room, sparking national outrage and leading to demonstrations and doctors' strikes across the country. The suspect, Sanjay Roy, was arrested the day after the incident and was found guilty of sexual assault and murder on Saturday (January 9).
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that the case came to trial in November last year. Roy always maintained his innocence and claimed that he had been framed. Judge Anirban Das, who is hearing the case, said the sentence will be pronounced on Monday (11th). He could be sentenced to death or life imprisonment.
The mother of the deceased said that if Roy was not sentenced to death, people would lose confidence in the Indian judicial system.
It is understood that the female trainee doctor was working a 8-hour shift on August 9 last year. After working for 36 hours, she found a conference room and lay down on the carpet to take a nap.
But the next day, colleagues found her half-naked body lying on a mattress covered in blood, with scars of sexual assault. A forensic autopsy revealed that the deceased had been strangled and had defensive wounds on her body, indicating that she had struggled to resist the attack.
An investigation by India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) found that Roy entered the hospital in a drunken state and found the female doctor taking a nap alone and committed an act of bestiality.
