NUPUR AND RAJESH TALWAR SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON IN AARUSHI & HEMRAJ DOUBLE MURDER CASE

Ghaziabad:  Nupur and Rajesh Talwar have been sentenced to life in prison by a court in Uttar Pradesh for the twin murders of their daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj Banjade in 2008.The CBI, which investigated the case, had asked for the death penalty.

Lawyers for the Talwars say they will appeal against the verdict  in the Allahabad High Court.

The Talwars were taken from court back to the jail in Ghaizabad near Delhi, where they were moved yesterday after they were convicted of murder and destruction of evidence. Jail officials say Mrs Talwar has been unwell with high blood pressure.The couple has refused meals, they said, and was seen weeping silently for several hours.

Judge Shyam Lal accepted the CBI’s theory that the Talwars killed Hemraj and Aarushi with a golf club after finding them  in “an objectionable position” at their apartment in 2008.
