An Indian man sentenced to death for murdering a girl in a case dubbed “the house of horrors” will be executed next week, officials say.
In 2009, Surinder Koli and his businessman employer Moninder Singh Pandher were convicted of murdering 14-year-old Rimpa Haldar. Pandher was later freed by a higher court.
They were held in 2007 after body parts were found near their home near Delhi.
The crime shocked the country, with many accusing the police of negligence.
Police say at least 19 young women and children were raped, killed and dismembered in a house where Koli worked as a servant for the owner in the suburb of Noida near Delhi.
The children, remains of whom were found hidden in bags, were allegedly lured to their deaths by Koli, who offered them sweets and chocolate. He confessed in court to cannibalism and necrophilia.
Koli has been found guilty of kidnapping, murder and attempted rape in at least five cases involving children.
Local residents said that police failed to act because many of those reported missing came from poor families.
