&ldquo;The judgment has met our expectation,&rdquo; said Benjamin Fernandez, the 29-year-old brother of Reuben Fernandez.
After the court&rsquo;s ruling, the families of Keenan and Reuben went to St Blaise church in Amboli. While Reuben&rsquo;s father Ronald Fernandez is retired, Benjamin works as a researcher with a management consultancy.
What he rues today is that they did not take the threat seriously.
&ldquo;Had we taken the threat seriously and moved from there, we could have saved their lives,&rdquo; said Benjamin.
While speaking to mid-day, Benjamin recalled the strong friendship that the group shared.
&ldquo;The group used to meet everyday and every moment spent with them is a memory. But the best memory was Avinash&rsquo;s birthday celebration that was held in February in the same year of the incident (2011),&rdquo; said Benjamin adding that his brother (Reuben) was a daring boy who would always protect girls.
Avinash Solanki, the first witness in this case and the one who went to the police station that night, recalled, &ldquo;If people would have come forward, we would have not lost Keenan and Reuben. We tried calling the police many times, but the lines were busy.&rdquo;
Solanki expressed his satisfaction after the judgment and said, &ldquo;I feel bad and hurt. Also we miss them a lot.&rdquo;
