Indian faces murder charge in United States

New York: A 34-year-old Indian immigrant, who allegedly set afire his two sons, will be charged with first-degree murder and aggravated arson, officials said after one of the two children died.

Kaushik Patel, a resident of Illinois, is suspected of dousing Om (4), and Vishv (7), in petrol and setting them afire at their home in Glendale Heights on November 18 when their mother was away.

Om, who suffered serious burns, died on Thursday in hospital. Patel will be arrested and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated arson once he is released from hospital. — PTI
