Five men being tried for the rape, beating and subsequent death of an Indian student have pleaded not guilty to the 13 charges that have been brought against them. A male friend of the student was also beaten, sustaining serious injury in the attack.

The men are accused of luring the student onto a bus and proceeding to attack both her and her male friend. The woman was raped and assaulted with a metal bar before being thrown, bleeding with severe internal injuries, onto a highway. She died of those injuries two weeks later.

The sixth individual in the attack is said to be a juvenile and will receive a separate trial according to police.
