Bombay High Court Upholds Death Penalty for Man Who Murdered and Ate Parts of His Mother

The court ruled that Sunil Kuchkoravi's act of cannibalism and extreme brutality warranted the death sentence, citing no chance of reformation.

Sunil Kuchkoravi was convicted of murdering his 63-year-old mother in 2017 and consuming parts of her body.
The High Court confirmed the death penalty, emphasizing the rarity and brutality of the crime.
Judges noted Kuchkoravi's actions as 'pathological cannibalism' and a potential threat to other inmates if sentenced to life imprisonment.
The court rejected any possibility of reformation or rehabilitation for Kuchkoravi, citing his lack of remorse.
Defense arguments highlighting Kuchkoravi's family responsibilities were dismissed as his family had already abandoned him due to his violent behavior.
