An Indian court on Tuesday found four men guilty of the gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old woman on a bus in New Delhi last year -- a crime that shocked the South Asian nation.
The sentencing hearing for the four men -- Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur, Pawan Gupta and Mukesh -- will take place Wednesday, the Delhi court said.
The outcry over the vicious attack convulsed India, prompting angry protests over women's treatment in Indian society and the introduction of tougher punishments for sexual abuse.
The victim's parents had tears in their eyes as Judge Yogesh Khanna read out the verdict, in which he said the men had been convicted of "committing the murder of a helpless victim." Her brother wiped a tear from his cheek.
The father of the victim, whose name has been withheld under Indian law, has called for the four defendants to face the death penalty.
