An Indian man has been accused of murdering a family-of-three, including a four-month-old child, having sex with the mother's corpse, and then raping her 10-year-old daughter.

The horrific crime took place in the Mubarakpur area of Azamgarh in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, according to News18, with police describing the culprit, 38-year-old Nasiruddin, as a "sex maniac" and a "necrophile."

Following his arrest, Azamgarh Police Superintendent Triveni Singh revealed that Nasiruddin confessed that he broke into the victims' home late on November 24 while they were all sleeping to carry out the attack.

The 38-year-old first killed the 35-year-old husband by bludgeoning him with a "heavy stone," and then turned his attention to his 30-year-old wife, whom he killed before having sex with her corpse. Then, he also murdered their four-month-old son.

He was still not done, however. He proceeded to rape and injure the couple's 10-year-old daughter, and also attacked her four-year-old brother, before making his escape from the scene.

Singh said Nasiruddin had sex with the mom's body for three hours and even made a video of the disturbing act, which he then showed to his sister-in-law, who was left horrified. It is unclear if she played a part in his capture.

"We had found the three bodies without clothes," another police official said. "Nasiruddin was arrested from his house on the basis of circumstantial evidence and has confessed to his crime."

"He also admitted to taking a stimulating drug and carried condoms for perpetrating the crime," Singh added. "He used a knife and a heavy stone to kill his victims."

Authorities said Nasiruddin is also believed to have carried out similarly gruesome crimes across Haryana, Delhi, and West Bengal.

The news comes even as the rest of the country is protesting the brutal rape and murder of a 26-year-old veterinarian, whose body was burned by the perpetrators after she was killed. Four men, aged between 20 and 24, have been arrested in connection to that case and might face the death penalty over the heinous crime.
