Defendant: Kaushik Patel

Charges: Two first-degree murders

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.

If he wants to die, gasoline is down to around $1.50/gallon in most of the US, so I'd be happy to buy this animal a couple of gallons. Hell, I'd even throw in a bowl of take-out curry for his last meal, and a box of matches. My treat. Seriously.

I think he should be forced to drink about a litre of the gasoline but before he dies from the poisoning and is still in agony from it should then be doused and set ablaze.
