Terming the case as 'rarest of rare', Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court confirmed death sentence for a 35-year-old man for killing a teenager boy after sodomising him.
A division bench of Justice P V Hardas and Justice S B Deshmukh yesterday confirmed the Nagpur sessions court verdict of awarding capital punishment to one Anil alias Anthony Arick Swamy Joseph (35).
Principal District and Session Judge Sunil Shukre on November 29 last year had found Joseph guilty of mercilessly killing Lakhan Vaidya, a 10-year-old city boy.
Selling balloons near a city school, Joseph used to look for little boys. After befriending Lakhan, Joseph kidnapped him on January 10, 2008. Two days after the abduction, he brutally killed the boy. The naked body of the boy was recovered from a water tank. Joseph was found involved in a similar murder case in 1995.
