At his trial Singh told the court: "I did it because I had a grudge against him. He deserved it. He was the real culprit. He wanted to crush the spirit of my people, so I have crushed him. For full 21 years, I have been trying to wreak vengeance. I am happy that I have done the job. I am not scared of death. I am dying for my country. I have seen my people starving in India under the British rule. I have protested against this, it was my duty."
(13 March 1940)

Linda Salee is raped and strangled by foot fetishist and serial killer Jerry Brudos aka The Lust Killer at the age of 22 in Salem, Oregon, United States.

Brudos decided to not cut her breasts off because they were "too pink" and instead drove an electrical current through the body in an attempt to make it "jump", which failed.
