You can walk into a room and say that you love to listen to Engelbert Humperdinck, or eat raspberry yoghurt or wear a kilt in bed and chances are that although the majority might think you slightly weird you will find a kindred spirit. But can anyone walk into a room and say that he likes to torture and murder children and eat their organs? Across the Jamuna river from Delhi police have discovered the bones of upto thirty children and women who were raped, tortured, murdered and then had their organs eaten by two men. One was an English school and college educated Sikh and the other his illiterate man servant from the north. For years people of this area, who are mostly very poor, have been complaining of missing children and women but the police the police simply shrugged their shoulders saying that the children must have run away from home. When the remains were discovered and parents recognised the clothes of their missing children they, understandably, were incensed. Not for them any psychiatric help or support from politicians who promise the moon before elections. They were beaten up with truncheons and U.P. government officials are conducting expensive DNA tests to see if they deserve compensation of 100 to 200 dollars for each dead child. We are constantly being told how how proud we should be of the progress the country is making. Perverted monsters who enjoy necrophilia and cannibalism have always existed and will continue to exist in the future but how does one such monster find another one like himself in a population of one billion? I would greatly appreciate an answer to this mystery.
