'All the men (three brothers and the uncle) were involved in raping the girl and when she threatened to tell the police, they strangled her to death and chopped off her head and dumped the body.'

"All the men were involved in raping the girl and when she threatened to tell the police, they strangled her to death and chopped off her head and dumped the body.""I have not seen such a crime in my life. Even lawyers have said they don't want to represent the accused in this case."

The high rates of assault continue despite an overhaul of laws in the wake of a high-profile fatal gang rape of a Delhi student in 2012 that sparked mass protests and a tightening of the law. That crime shone a spotlight on the rising levels of violence against women in India, and saw the introduction of tough penalties for offenders and accelerated trials through court.
