NEW DELHI (Reuters) – A judge will deliver his sentence on Friday against four men convicted of killing a woman they gang-raped and tortured on a bus in New Delhi, a case that triggered outrage in India and widespread demands for the guilty to be hanged.

Judge Yogesh Khanna told the court sentencing would take place at 2.30 p.m. (0900 GMT / 5:00 a.m. EDT) on Friday.
