UP court sentences man to death for raping and murdering minor sister
A man in India has been sentenced to death for a terrible crime.
He was found guilty of hurting two young sisters, raping them, and killing the older one.
The sisters went to get water and never came back.
Their family found them later, but sadly, the older sister had already passed away.
The younger sister survived and received medical help.
The court said this crime was one of the worst they had ever seen, and because of how bad it was, they gave the man the harshest punishment.
