Women kill rape suspect in court

A man standing trial for rape was killed by a group of women and children in court in the city of Nagpur in central India on Friday, reports say. Initial reports said about 14 women and several children forced their way into the courtroom and knifed the accused, Appu Yadav, to death.
When you stick it to 'em like that, Appu, you'd better expect to get stuck as well.
The attackers then escaped from the scene of the crime. Police, who have launched an investigation, admit that they were caught unawares.
"We did not for even one moment expect that bringing the defendant into possible contact with his alleged victims could possibly result in such dire retribution. All of us are, of course, shocked but do not expect to be fired for this exceptionally neglectful oversight."

Second case
However, the BBC's Zubair Ahmed in Bombay says they also admitted they had to throw a security cordon around the defendant last week when he was jeered by angry women as he arrived in court. Yadav was facing 24 counts of molestation and rape.
One can only assume that the "security cordon" must have immediately trotted off for a coffee break after delivering their charge into the courtroom.
Six months ago there was a similar incident in Nagpur, in India's Maharashtra state. A member of a criminal gang was killed by other gang members on court premises.
Sounds like a baliff problem to me.
