The minor girl was raped and murdered by Ashwaq Alam, a migrant labourer from Bihar, after she was abducted from her rented house.
A court in Kerala on Tuesday sentenced to death the man convicted in the horrific Aluva child rape and murder case. Special POCSO (Protection Of Children from Sexual Offences) court judge K Soman directed that convict Ashwaq Alam be hanged to death for killing a 5-year-old girl from Bihar, public prosecutor (PP) G Mohanraj said.
The death sentence would be carried out after confirmation by the Kerala High Court, the prosecutor said.
Giving details of the sentences given to Alam, a migrant labourer from Bihar, the prosecutor told the media outside the court that the convict was given five life terms for the various offences of rape and aggravated penetrative sexual assault under the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act.
