'Necrophile Koli only accused in Nithari killings'

New Delhi, Mar 22: Virtually giving a 'clean chit' to Moninder Singh Pandher in the Nithari killings, the CBI today said the serial killings were a result of main accused and his psychopath servant Surender Koli suffering from necrophilia and necrophagia.

Addressing mediapersons Joint Director (Special Crime) Arun Kumar said Pandher was not involved in any of the killings and the entire 'operation' was the handiwork of Surender Koli, who was a psychopath suffering from necrophilia -- a sexual perversion disorder and necrophagia -- tendency to feed on corpses.

Ruling out any organ trade angle in the commissioning of the crime, he said Koli admitted to having eaten the body parts of three of his victims.

''He would strangle his victims, cut their body parts and leave them to bleed. After that he would chop off some body parts, only in three cases, and eat them.'' However, Mr Kumar added that all this were based on ''Koli's confession'' as there were no eye-witnesses.
