Tribune News Service
Shimla, April 16
The Sessions Court will pronounce its judgment in the four-year-old Gudiya rape and murder case on April 28. The court heard the arguments of the defence and the prosecution on the DNA report and other evidence today.
The CBI stated that the DNA report was correct. The CBI had arrested Anil Kumar, alias Nilu, a woodcutter, in the case on April 13, 2018. The state forensic laboratory at Junga had also pointed out that only one person was involved in the brutal crime and country liquor found on the spot indicated the involvement of a low profile person.
On July 4, 2017, a minor girl reportedly went missing while on her way back from school at Kotkhai in Shimla. On July 6, her body was found in a nearby forest at Haliailla in the Kotkhai area of the district. The postmortem confirmed rape and murder.
