Aarushi-Hemraj twin murder: Rajesh, Nupur Talwar challenge conviction in HC

January 24, 2014 14:37

Dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar on Wednesday moved the Allahabad High Court against a CBI court order awarding them life sentence for the murder of their 14-year-old daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.

The petition filed by the couple is likely to come up before a bench for hearing on Thursday. The couple had been sentenced to life imprisonment by a special CBI court at Ghaziabad on November 26, 2013.

Aarushi was found dead, with her throat slit, inside the Talwars' Noida residence in May, 2008. Hemraj, who had gone missing, was initially suspected of being involved in the crime until his body was recovered from the terrace a day later.
