Indian Police have shot dead four gang-rape and murder suspects who had been in custody for a week, as they tried to escape during the re-enactment in the southern city of Hyderabad.
According to Deputy police commissioner Prakash Reddy: “They were killed in the crossfire. They tried to snatch weapons from the guards but were shot dead.
“The four were accused of raping, murdering and burning the body of the woman, a 27-year-old veterinary doctor, who had parked her scooter on a busy highway in November.”
He added: “the men deflated her scooter tyre and lured her to a truck yard with the promise of fixing the machine.
“They allegedly then raped and murdered the woman before setting the body on fire under an isolated bridge.
“The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had called her sister informing her that she was scared of the men who had offered to help her before her phone went off.”
Shortly after their arrest hundreds of protesters also tried to storm the Hyderabad police station where the four accused were held.
