One of the suspects in the gang rape and death of a 23-year-old woman in India has committed suicide in his jail cell. The rape victim, Jyoti Singh Pandey, was attacked on a moving bus in New Delhi in December, dying from her injuries two weeks later. On Sunday, Indian police said one of the six suspects, Ram Singh, hung himself in his cell. The five other suspects are currently on trial. On Friday, Jyoti Singh Pandey was honored posthumously in Washington with the State Department’s International Women of Courage Award. Secretary of State John Kerry paid tribute to Pandey at the ceremony.

Secretary of State John Kerry: “Over the next two weeks, she became aware of the growing movement that was supporting her and the outrage and indignation ignited around the world. As she fought for her life, she decided to fight for justice, too. She defied her doctors and a culture of silence, giving two detailed accounts of her attack that the police used to arrest her rapists. Her bravery inspired millions of women and men to come together with a simple message: No more.”
