A Majalgaon sessions court in Beed district of Maharashtra today sentenced two men to death for raping and murdering a 14-year-old girl, and killing her mother.
Judge R V Morale had held the accused Krishna Ramrao Ridde and Achyut Baba Chunche guilty yesterday, and pronounced the sentence today.
On May 28, 2015, Ridde and Chunche entered the house of a 54-year-old woman at Choramba village in Dharur tehsil, raped her 14-year-old daughter, and strangled both of them, said Public Prosecutor Ajay Tandale.
Police nabbed Ridde and Chunche on June 2, 2015.
Tandale examined 13 witnesses during the trial at the fast-track court.
Apart from the death sentence, the court also awarded the duo life imprisonment for the offence of rape under IPC, and also a 10 years' sentence under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
"I am satisfied with the court's decision which would act as a deterrent," Tandale said.
