A special women's court in Mumbai on Tuesday convicted a 29-year-old driver for the rape and murder of Esther Anuhya, an Andhra Pradesh-based woman software engineer in suburban Kurla here last year.
The judges described the convict as a 'menace to society' and said rising crime against women should be tackled on all fronts.
"The case falls under the category of the rarest of rare, hence the accused is awarded death sentence... he must be hanged by his neck till he is dead," said Special Women's court judge Vrushali Joshi pronouncing the verdict.
