Kolhapur's monster sentenced to death
Mother's murder followed by dismemberment; organs like brain and liver cooked and eaten—Kolhapur's monster sentenced to death
The accused who murdered his mother and dismembered her body has had his death sentence upheld. The case was heard today in the Mumbai High Court, where the court maintained the death penalty, stating that this crime was among the rarest of rare. The court observed, "The crime committed by Sunil Konchikorvi is exceptionally grave, and there is no scope for his reformation; thus, he cannot live in society." Sunil had murdered his biological mother for money to buy alcohol. His brutality did not stop there; he tore her body apart, cooked, and even ate parts of it. This horrific incident took place on August 28, 2017, in the Makadwala area of Kolhapur. The Kolhapur Sessions Court had sentenced the accused to death on July 8, 2021. The High Court has now upheld that sentence. The accused still has the right to appeal to the Supreme Court within 30 days.
The bench of Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice Prithviraj Chavan heard the case today in the Mumbai High Court. Sunil appeared via video conferencing from Pune’s Yerwada Jail. The court acknowledged that the case involved cannibalism and thus stated that the accused is beyond rehabilitation. It further noted that the accused could still commit such heinous crimes even if sentenced to life imprisonment. The court remarked that Sunil murdered his own mother and cooked and ate her brain, liver, and other organs. He had even cooked her ribs and was about to cook her heart when caught. Given the nature of the crime, the court concluded that there was no possibility of reform.
