(LBC News) – Four men suspected of raping and killing a woman in southern India have been fatally shot by police.
The men were killed on a visit to the crime scene. Police said one of the suspects tried to grab an officer’s gun and escape. All of the suspects were killed at around 3.30am local time, according to Priya, a police sub-inspector in Hyderabad who goes by one name.
The suspects were taken to reconstruct the crime scenes, both where the rape is suspected of taking place and the spot where the woman’s body was burned about 600 yards away, according to Shreedharan, an official in the police commissioner’s office who uses one name.
