A Glendale Heights man charged with killing his two sons by setting them on fire avoided a possible death sentence after prosecutors agreed to allow him to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence, attorneys announced in court Friday.
Kaushik Patel, 35, is charged with dousing his sons, Vishv, 7, and Om, 4, with gasoline in the bathroom of their home on Nov. 18, 2007, and setting them on fire. The boys were left with severe burns that led to their deaths months later.

Simply insane...the boys lived in hell for MONTHS before they died...God bless them and keep them...this bastard should be roasting in hell with Ded Kennedy.
Scum of the earth. The only good thing I can think of is that he saved the taxpayers the cost of a long trial and appeals. Maybe the other inmates will go after him.
Torture in the form of memories of his dead sons. Pictures and video.
I wonder what the information that dissuaded the prosecution from taking it to trial and seeking the death penalty was?
Not!
Helter Skelter eyes!
This animal epitomizes the argument for the death penalty.
Nope, let him go to prison... there are people in prison that will torture him for the rest of his years... he’ll probably die a very violent and painful death in prison. He won’t fare any better than child molestors in jail.
He just consigned himself to Hell long before they would have put him down with a death sentence. I have no problem with this.
I’ll be 25 in October, but I’d still turn around and run scared if I saw him on the street.
Jeez!
“...hell probably die a very violent and painful death in prison.”
That’s exactly the problem...”he’ll probably...”
Probably my Irish arse...it shoulf be swift and absolute...not PROBABLE...or society has failed miserably...no excuses.

Patel said he was suicidal over marital problems that arose after his mother-in-law moved in with the couple a few years earlier. He and his wife, Nishaben, wed in an arranged marriage in their native India, five years after he had immigrated to the United States.
Authorities don’t believe the accident defense. They said both boys’ injuries were much more severe, indicating they had more gasoline doused on them than their father. Police also said Patel made incriminating statements that night to his brother in which he admitted it was a botched murder-suicide attempt.
The couple divorced after reaching an agreement in which Kaushik Patel voluntarily relinquished any right to their home, two cars, $25,000 in jewelry and the boys’ life-insurance policies.

Pure evil, put him in with the other prisoners.
This may sound a little far fetched but, believe me it’s not. I’ve seen that look before, it’s of a person who is demon possessed. Look at hitler, he has that same look, so does charles manson.
And yet, some female person produced two children for him.
Obviously a solid candidate for an death penalty appeal based upon his low IQ. Immigration policy used to keep out those with severe mental impairment.
“And yet, some female person produced two children for him.”
It was an arranged marriage shortly after this madman immigrated here.

Ugh.
Is that really him? Please tell me that’s Photoshop. It looks like a National Geographic illustration of an extinct tribe.
