After having sex with a prostitute from Sri Lanka, Radika Devi Thayagarajah, 21, he quarreled with her about the payment and eventually strangled the woman to death in a hotel room on September 2, the online edition of Straits Times newspaper reported.

He then stuffed her body under the bed and had sex with another prostitute in the same room an hour later. According to the juridical commissioner, Reddy's "post-killing conduct indicated an utter lack of remorse."

Seven months pregnant, and she was still selling herself?

71 years, as opposed to 17, would have been better! The 12 stroke caning should be to the anterior and not the posterior!

Agreed!

The punishment in this case is well deserved and may even be seen as insufficient, but, I would bet that there wouldn't be a single man who uses prostitutes, abandoning his practice, because of this case!
