- An Indian court sentenced two taxi drivers to death for the rape and murder of an Australian tourist they picked up at New Delhi airport.
- The court said Griggs had struggled against her assailants before being raped and stabbed to death. She was also attacked with a screwdriver.
- "The victim in the present case was a foreigner lady who was totally dependent on the hospitality provided to her by our people. She was totally defenceless and unprotected," the judge said in his order.
- The defence had argued that there was no direct evidence and no eyewitnesses, and indicated they would appeal.
- India's Supreme Court stipulates that the death penalty be used only in the "rarest of rare cases."
