Agonising wait for Fosters
The legal battle is yet to begin in the rape and murder of his teenage daughter Hannah Foster.
"After our visit in 2006, we thought it was our last visit to India. But we have moved almost nowhere since then. We hope that the court will listen to our pain that aggravates by each passing day," said Trevor Foster, Hannah's father.
The legal battle is yet to begin in the rape and murder of his teenage daughter Hannah Foster.
On March 16, 2003, Hannah's body was found near Southampton in Britain. She was raped and strangled allegedly by an Indian Maninder Pal Singh Kohli, living in the same area.
Kohli allegedly fled from the UK and was caught in 2004 while trying to flee to Nepal. Since then, Fosters have been fighting a case to get him extradited to the UK and carry on legal proceedings.
Unable to keep a tab on the proceedings from the UK, all that the Fosters rely on is updates given to them by the British High Commission. "We can't afford to keep coming for every date. I had to leave my job, my husband took voluntary retirement as we decided to fight till the end. But how long will our patience be tested?" said Hilary, Hannah's mother.
Even though the extradition court is only to establish a prima facie case against the accused and does not have to establish guilt to allow extradition, the hearing still drags on.
On February 1, 2007, a Delhi court had dismissed the second bail plea of accused Maninder Pal Singh Kohli. "My younger daughter is hopeful after every visit. But the long gap is diluting our legal battle that is yet to begin," Trevor added. In 2006, Fosters had written to the President and the prime minister but got no response.
This was their third visit since the incident and all they wish is "Hope this is the last time that we have to request."
