Etawah, UP:
Ten people - most of them from the same family - have been sentenced to death for murdering a young couple. The killing took place in a village in the Etah district of Uttar Pradesh. The couple was killed as punishment for marrying against their families' wishes.
In 2008, Vijaya eloped with a young man named Uday Pal. His brother convinced the couple to return home. In November that year, the bride's father, brothers and six other relatives shot repeatedly at the couple. Uday Pal's brother was also killed.
Explaining his decision, the judge said that this case meets "the rarest of the rare" criterion for the death sentence because the killing "was premeditated and brutal."
