Mumbai: Charges will be framed in the Keenan-Reuben murder case in the Bombay High Court on Friday. The two youngsters were stabbed to death by a mob in October in 2011 for fighting against sexual harassment.

Four people were arrested for murder and sexual harassment and several others were booked for rioting in the case.

On October 20, 2011, 28-year-old Reuben Fernandez and 25-year-old Keenan Santos were attacked with choppers by a group of four, after the duo objected to their alleged acts of indecent behaviour against their women companions.
