MUMBAI: A court in India´s western resort state of Goa sentenced a 31-year-old man to life in prison on Monday for raping and murdering an Irish tourist eight years ago.
The body of 28-year-old Danielle McLaughlin was discovered naked in a field near a beach in the south of the picturesque state in 2017. Police charged local resident Vikat Bhagat with the murder of McLaughlin, who was from Buncrana in Ireland.
