Surinder Kohli was convicted of crimes that included murder, cannibalism and necrophilia. His employer and owner of the house was initially also found guilty of murder but was later acquitted. Surinder Kohli, who worked as a domestic staffer in the house was scheduled to hang this week was handed a temporary reprieve after filing a mercy petition to the president. The serial killings shocked the nation and his plea for mercy has reignited the debate over capital punishment and the appeal process that can leave convicts languishing on death row for decades.

LINDELL: As a poor migrant, Pappu Lal has no choice but to continue working just three doors away from where his eight year old daughter was brutally murdered. The house has long been abandoned and a flowering bougainvillea has taken over the outer wall.
