Ramanagaram, Jan 24: A tense atmosphere prevailed in a local court in Karnataka’s Ramanagaram on Wednesday when a rape and murder convict turned violent after getting death sentence.

Salim (35), the rape convict, who was given a death sentence by the district and sessions court judge, picked up some bricks in a fit of rage while walking out of the court premises and hurled them at media people and lawyers. He then grabbed a rifle from a policeman's hand.

The police then wrested the firearm back from him and took him away in an autorickshaw.

Rape and murder

Salim was convicted and sentenced to death, for raping and murdering a nine-year-old girl. The sentence was awarded by the third district and sessions court here.

Police said Salim raped the girl on August 15, 2012 at Janata colony, Tavarekere, Bengaluru Rural taluk.

Salim, a resident of Goriplaya in Bengaluru, was visiting his sister in Tavarekere on that day.

He took the rape victim with him on the pretext of buying beedis and then raped her at his sister's house when no one was at home. He killed her there.

The Tavarekere police had registered the case and arrested him. When the charges were proved, the judge sentenced him to 10 years in jail and Rs 50,000 fine for the rape; and death sentence for the murder.

Oh Come on Sir, if charges were proven, what made you wait for so long. Should have given death penalty earlier. Wasted much food, by feeding him for 5 years

It was good if police would have shot him when he went aggressive. This type of people should not have any place on earth. Now he will apply in higher courts and buy more time.
