A 31-year-old man, Vikat Bhagat, has been sentenced to life in prison for the rape and murder of Danielle McLaughlin, an Irish backpacker, nearly eight years after her tragic death. McLaughlin's body was discovered near Palolem beach in Goa in March 2017, with autopsy results indicating strangulation. Her family expressed gratitude for achieving justice, emphasizing their fight to raise awareness about her case, which has become a symbol of ongoing violence against women in India. Despite legal reforms, such incidents in the country continue to pose significant concerns regarding women's safety.
"Thankful to everyone involved in our fight for justice. They have treated her like their daughter and have tirelessly fought for her."
"Goa is known for its beach resorts, which are popular with backpackers."
