A bone test is being conducted to confirm the age of a juvenile suspect in custody for the murder and gang-rape of a young woman, while prosecutors will seek the death penalty for the other five men arrested with him, police said Tuesday. The six are scheduled to be formally charged in court on Thursday on accusations that they kidnapped, gang-raped and murdered the 23-year-old woman on a moving bus in the capital New Delhi, police said.
