Ravinder Kumar, a 23-year-old serial rapist-killer who was arrested from South Delhi last week, has reportedly revealed during police interrogation that he was involved in far more number of crimes than previously thought.
Kumar – a bus cleaner – has admitted to 15 more crimes. He had previously admitted to, along with his close friends, kidnapping, sexually assaulting and killing about 15 children between 2008 and 2015 in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
The latest admission now takes the total number of crimes committed by the serial killer to 30.
Kumar was arrested last week on suspicion of killing a six-year-old girl and subsequently made chilling revelations before the city police during interrogations about how he lured children and his unending desire for sexual acts with corpses.
Kumar reportedly told police that he used to lure children with candies and kill them if they resisted. He then used to have sex with their bodies – a behaviour matching the psychological condition known as ‘necrophilia’ or a desire for sexual acts with corpses.
The serial child killer, who had been on the run till his arrest last week, claimed that he turned into a different person every time he had drinks with his close friends – Dharmender and Kishan – and watched pornographic movies.
He then used to set out with his friends to lure children, kidnap, rape and murder them eventually.
In his confessional statement, Kumar admitted to having committed his first crime when he was barely 17. A labourer’s girl child from a Metro construction site was his first victim. He took the girl to an isolated place, had sex with her and then dumped the body after killing her.
