Shabnam's uncle and aunt have expressed happiness at the court verdict.
"We were not at home when the carnage took place. When we went there at around 2 a.m., there was blood all around and the bodies were cut up. The crime was unpardonable," said her uncle, refusing to disclose his name.
He further said that he would not accept the body of Shabnam after her hanging.
Meanwhile, Pawan Jallad, who had executed the four accused in the Nirbhaya case in March last year, will be executing Shabnam and Salim in Mathura jail, which houses the country's lone female execution room.
Pawan said that he had been asked to inspect the Mathura jail for the hanging and he is ready for the job even though the date for the hanging has not been set yet.
