THE four suspects in the Hyderabad rape and murder case have been killed by the police in an early morning “encounter”. This “encounter” has all the hallmarks of a custodial murder, dressed up to look like an “encounter”. Since the suspects were in police custody, and thus unarmed, it is clear that the police is lying when it claims they were killed when “attacking the police” at the crime scene where they had been taken to “recreate” the events of the night the rape-murder occurred.
