An Indian man has been found guilty of the brutal rape and murder of 28-year-old Irish backpacker Danielle McLaughlin, whose naked and battered body was discovered hidden in Canacona, Goa, in 2017. McLaughlin had been reported missing the previous day after being last seen walking with the man later charged with her murder. The long-awaited verdict has finally brought some closure to her grieving family, who have endured an agonising eight-year legal battle for justice.
