Just in: All four accused sentenced to life in jail. Which means they have been handed out a life sentence which ends only on their death.

Keenan Santos, 24, and Reuben Fernandez, 29, were attacked outside a popular eatery at Amboli in Mumbai's Andheri on October 20, 2011. A crowd watched even as the youngsters were assaulted in full public view.

After retreating initially, the group came back to the spot with over 10 aides and repeatedly stabbed the duo. Keenan died on the same day, Reuben died 10 days later.

Keenan's father Valerian Santos said it was very difficult for the family to cope not just with the deaths but also in getting justice. "It takes nearly five years to get justice for a boy who has done something good in society. We have to beg for justice.",
