Vikat Bhagat, a 31-year-old local man, was found guilty of the 2017 rape and murder of 28-year-old Danielle from Buncrana, Ireland. Her body was discovered in a remote area of Goa. The family expressed relief at the verdict after a lengthy trial hampered by delays. They acknowledged the court's process and thanked their legal representation both in India and at home. Despite the painful journey, they felt justice had finally been achieved for Danielle, who had been backpacking in India when the crime occurred.
"There was no other suspect or gang involved in Danielle's death and (Vikat) Bhagat was solely responsible for cruelly ending her beautiful life."
"We are content now with the judicial confirmation in public of what we already sadly knew. What further legal processes now take place we will observe."
