Live Law  

The Supreme Court yesterday stayed the death sentence of a man convicted for brutal killing of his own mother and eating her organs. In July 2021, a Session Court in Kolhapur convicted and sentenced him to death, saying that the incident shook the "collective conscience of the society". Upholding the death sentence awarded to him, the High Court said, "This is a rarest of rare case, wherein the appellant not only killed his mother but removed her organs like brain, heart etc and was about to cook the same on a stove". "To release such a person would amount to giving him a free ride and freedom to commit similar offence qua the members of the society," the High Court underscored.
