Family of India Rape Suspect Says His Death Wasn't Suicide
2013-03-12
[NY Times] The case of a fatal gang rape aboard a bus here last December, which set off an uproar across India, took a surprising turn on Monday when the body of a suspect in the attack was found hanging from a bedsheet noose in his jail cell. Officials called the death a suicide, but the suspect's family insisted that he had been killed.
And the rest of the world should care precisely why?
The suspect, Ram Singh, was accused of being the driver of the bus in which a 23-year-old woman was beaten and raped. The woman had severe internal injuries from being sexually assaulted with an iron rod. Mr. Singh was found at 5:45 a.m. hanging from a bedsheet rope suspended from a ceiling grill, jail officials said.

#5  According to what my Grandfather told me many years ago, 'suicide' was a fairly common occurrence amongst rapists and child molesters once they hit prison.

It was widely publicized to the inmate population as to the nature of the newcomer's crime. 'Social Interaction' then ensued.

#4  The Juvenile accused is reportedly the one who used the rusty iron rod to violate the girl.
Pity he only gets 2 years in a Juvenile facility if convicted.
