The angle of organ trade was ruled out as the CBI recovered 69 bags of “bio-material” from the drain around D-5, including many organs. The DNA of eight victims has been matched.

Kumar gave details of their investigations supported by the findings of forensic and other experts and the lie-detector tests conducted on the two accused.

“There is no parallel anywhere in the world of two psychopaths living and doing crime together in the same house. Koli’s confession in court does not indict Pandher... and Koli’s extra-judicial confession indicates Koli was single-handedly capable of killing and dismembering his victims,” said the Joint Director.

According to the chargesheet, Koli is a “psychopath serial-killer with no empathy”. A board of doctors from AIIMS that examined him found him to be suffering from necrophilia (sexual attraction towards dead bodies), necrophagia (feeding on bodies), and paraphilia (obsession with unusual sexual practices).

Kumar said Koli strangulated most of his victims, then raped them and cut up the bodies into pieces, which were later packed in polythene bags and disposed of in the drain around the D-5 bungalow. “He used to take the bodies to a bathroom on the first floor, which was for his own exclusive use, allow them to bleed, then cut them up with a knife when he got the time. Pandher... never went to his servant’s bathroom... In fact he was hardly at D-5 for more than two days in a week and then too just spent nights there,” said Kumar.
