印度强奸案嫌疑人被起诉

Police in India are set to formally charge six suspects in last month's gang rape of a 23-year-old woman who later died from her injuries.

The suspects are facing charges of kidnapping, rape and murder, and authorities say they will push for the death penalty if the men are convicted.  One of the suspects has undergone testing to determine his age because juveniles in India cannot be charged with murder.

The government is expected to appoint attorneys to defend the men after bar association lawyers said they would not take part in the defense.

The unidentified woman died Saturday from severe internal injuries that her assailants caused with a metal rod during the attack on a bus December 16.
