    How can anyone do this thing to a child?. Are their brains malfunctioned to give signals of approval to carry out such an unimaginable unnatural act ? These criminals must be sentenced to most cruel punishment of rigorous work imprisonment for 20 hours per day with minimal food to survive for 1 year before hanging them to death.

    Two others acquitted is a bad news here... The prosecution must have failed to garner enough evidences against them... They will remain a threat to humanity...
