NEW DELHI (AP) Two married dentists were convicted Monday of killing their 14-year-old daughter and the family's housekeeper in a sensational case that has transfixed India since the girl was found with her throat slit in 2008.
Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, from the New Delhi suburb of Noida, will be sentenced Tuesday. They could face the death penalty. In a statement, they said they were "hurt and anguished" by the verdict and would appeal.
The double-murder in a suburban pocket of the capital became one of the most closely-watched whodunits in recent memory in India.
"Everybody turned against us," Vandana Talwar, a family member, told reporters, blaming the media, police and the court following a case that has lasted more than five years. "We have only the truth on our side."
There were missteps in the investigation from the start.
