'We can now start grieving her immeasurable loss'
A man has been found guilty of the rape and murder of an Irish woman backpacking in India.
Danielle McLaughlin, 28, from County Donegal, was found dead in a field in the western state of Goa in March 2017.
A post-mortem examination found brain damage and strangulation as the cause of death.
Vikat Bhagat was found guilty at the District and Sessions Court in south Goa, India, on Friday and could face life imprisonment, but prosecutors have asked for the death penalty.
His defence team appealed for leniency. He will be sentenced next Monday.
Rape victims cannot usually be named under Indian law. Their identities are often hidden in a bid to protect them from being shunned in society.
In this case, Danielle McLaughlin's family have spoken to the media to raise awareness of her case.
