A court in India has convicted nine people of burning three people to death in their home during the religious riots in Gujarat state 10 years ago.

Thirty-two others were acquitted of the crime which took place in Ode village in Anand district.

More than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed when riots erupted after 60 Hindu pilgrims died in a train fire in 2002. It was one of India's worst outbreaks of religious violence in recent years.

Last month, the court sentenced 18 people to life imprisonment for the murder of 23 Muslims in the same village. Five others were given seven years and another 23 were acquitted.
