Patel, of the 1800 block of Harvest Lane in Glendale Heights, is accused of dousing his sons, Vishv, 7, and Om, 4, with gasoline and setting them on fire in a bathroom of their home on Nov. 18, 2007. Om died of his injuries in January, 2008 and Vishv died in February after both lingered for months in a Maywood hospital burn unit.
Patel also suffered serious burns in the fire and has heavy scars on his right hand.
Patel, a native of India who immigrated to the U.S. in 1992, contends that he was trying to commit suicide and that his sons' injuries and deaths were accidental. In a Tribune interview, he said he doesn't remember lighting the fire.
