When a loved one is murdered, revenge can very often be in the forefront of the minds of the victim’s loved. Thankfully, the majority leave it to the justice system to serve punishment and justice. However, in 2015 24-year-old Alam Khan took things into his own hands.

Khan was just 12-years-old when in 2003, he witnessed his father being murdered by Mohammad Rais, a family friend, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. After witnessing the horrifying ordeal, Khan decided that he wouldn’t tell anybody about the identity of his father’s killer. Instead, he promised himself that he would one day exact revenge against the man who killed his beloved father.
Khan finally saw the opportunity twelve years later. Khan lured Rais over to his home under the pretense of having a friendly drink together. However, after Rais became intoxicated, Khan produced a butcher knife and stabbed him to death.

When Rais stopped breathing, Khan used a hammer and hacksaw to dismember his body. Khan chopped the body into twelve pieces – one piece for each year he waited for this moment.
Rais and an accomplice than stuffed the dismembered body parts into plastic bags which they then threw into the river. It wouldn’t be long until the macabre discovery was uncovered when the plastic bags washed ashore. Rais was identified by a surgery scar on his torso.

Khan was shortly apprehended when several witnesses had seen Rais outside Khan’s home. Khan made no attempt to deny the murder; he openly confessed. “I played some music at full volume and cut his body into 12 pieces,” he calmly confessed. According to Khan, he was “happy it was now done.”[note]Post, 30 December, 2015 – “Son Revenges Father’s Killing”

Police Superintendent Ram Suresh Yadev told the Times of India that Khan’s confession showed an “utter lack of remorse.”
