More than five years after the double murder, dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar on Monday held guilty by a CBI court for killing their 14-year-old daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj in their house in Noida in 2008.

Additional Sessions Judge Shyam Lal held both of them guilty of destruction of evidence in the murder.

The father was also convicted under section 203 of IPC for filing wrong information with the Noida police station about the incident.

Arguments on sentencing will be held tomorrow after which the judge will announce quantum of sentence.

The Talwar couple broke into tears as they were taken into custody and were being taken to jail.

After the verdict was announced, a statement was circulated on behalf of the Talwar couple which said that they are deeply disappointed, hurt and anguished for being convicted for a crime that they have not committed.
