Rape accused burnt victim's head, minor nephew played accomplice

The gruesome murder of the 18-year-old girl whose dismembered body parts were found in Rourkela was not just horrifying; it was executed in cold blood. Main accused Kunu Kisan, a mason by profession, came fully prepared to destroy evidence and derail investigation. He burnt the victim's severed head before disposing it of in a swamp.

The 30-year-old prime accused watched several crime shows, including the popular series Crime Patrol, revolving around kidnapping and murder, to learn the tricks before killing the girl whom he had allegedly raped and impregnated over a year back.
