December 01, 2014 17:12

The Allahabad high court on Monday further extended the stay on hanging of the Nithari serial killer Surinder Koli until December 22.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had stayed the execution of Koli until December 1. Koli has been charged with killing children in a house in Noidas Nithari village near New Delhi in 2006,

A bench comprising justices H L Dattu and A R Dave had stayed the execution for a period of one week.

The case came to light in December 2006 when a girl who was found missing was found murdered later by Koli. Investigations into the case led the probe team to the skeletal remains of the children that were recovered from a drain adjacent to the house where Koli was working as a domestic servant.

Koli, who brutally killed and later axed children in Nithari locality of Noida in Uttar Pradesh, was awarded the death sentence by a lower court which was upheld by the Allahabad high court and confirmed by the Supreme Court on February 15, 2011 for the murder of Rimpa Halder in 2005.
