S Daswant

A year ago, a seven-year-old girl was raped and murdered and her body was burnt by a neighbour who had a puppy she liked to play with at an apartment complex near Chennai. S Daswant, a 23-year-old engineer, was sentenced to death today by a court in Tamil Nadu's Kancheepuram. He was also sentenced to 31 years in prison

Drastically altering his looks while on the run could not save a 23-year-old from Chennai from the police, who instantly recognised him in Mumbai on Friday and arrested him. S Daswant is accused of killing his mother, and raping and murdering a 7-year-old girl. Daswant had fled from Chennai police custody and reached Mumbai on Wednesday.
