Mattoo killer to be hanged
New Delhi, October 30
Applying the rarest of the rare principle in the murder case of Delhi University law student Priyadarshani Mattoo 10 years ago by senior faculty member Santosh Singh, now a practising lawyer, the Delhi High Court today awarded him the death sentence. It said there could be no other punishment for him than this on the face of the gravity of the crime committed.

We are of the opinion that a case of this nature, in which the crime is committed with a premeditated approach and in a grotesque manner, the convict deserves nothing other than death penalty.
