Aarushi Talwar: Parents Rajesh and Nupur get life for double murder...

An Indian couple have been sentenced to life in prison for murdering their daughter, Aarushi Talwar, and their Nepalese servant, Hemraj Banjade.

Rajesh and Nupur Talwar were found guilty on Monday of murder, destroying evidence and misleading investigators.

Their 14-year-old daughter was found murdered at their home in May 2008.

Suspicion initially fell on Hemraj until his bludgeoned body was found on the Talwars' roof just one day later.

The murders generated huge interest in India, with every twist and turn in the case receiving wall-to-wall coverage.

Prosecutors sought the death sentence arguing that this was "the rarest of rare cases". The defence team stressed the lack of hard evidence and said the couple were widely respected professionals. Full story...
