To think that this couple should be extradited

The only reason the extradition hasn’t been agreed is that they face a life sentence without parole if convicted

Basically, this couple took out an advert in the local Indian paper to adopt a child. When it was all agreed, they paid £30k premium for a life insurance policy that paid out £150k in the event of his death. He was then murdered by a motorcycle gang. According to Indian authorities 2 previous attempts had been made on the boys life!

I think that they should be extradited and a life sentence without parole is about right. Why would you think to pay £30k for a life insurance policy for a child you were about to adopt?

That's horrific. That poor boy.

That’s appalling. Truly evil. I hope the two jurisdictions figure something out.

That poor boy. Yes they need to go and face the consequences.

Oh my god. What kind of evil fuckers collude to come up with this plan.

Pure evil.

Disgraceful....but not too dissimilar to the current American case.

Both have the accused "hiding" in their own countries....but in this case UK won't send them to India....and in the American case the UK want the accused to return to face charges.

Hypocritical behaviour.

If you've done wrong, you should answer for it

how wicked

That's just so upsetting. God I wish i hadn't opened this thread

Absolutely. They don’t deserve release on compassionate grounds. Had they had him murdered in the U.K., it is highly unlikely they would get parole. So why the human rights crap?

Are you talking about the death by dangerous driving case involving diplomatic immunity?

Death by dangerous driving isn’t quite in the same league of premeditated evil as adopting a child purely to kill him for the insurance.

"Unlikely" is different to "never even considered".

I know I'm missing the point but why is life insurance for a child? No-one suffers a financial loss at the death of a child.

Doesn't £30k premium for £150k of insurance, for a young (so presumably low risk) child seem an awful lot? You can buy life insurance for a few pounds a month.

Who were the insurers? There must be more to this.

But yes, on the face of it they should be extradited. Surely the same crime in UK would also get life

*why is life insurance for a child even available.....

It sounds like it was a savings policy with insurance attached as it paid out X in 10 years and XXX if he died before then. An endowment.

Completely evil. I can’t understand why the judge won’t release them to face justice.

"Had they had him murdered in the U.K., it is highly unlikely they would get parole"

The trial would be a lot fairer and most murders only serve around eight years.

In really nasty cases a minimum tariff is set, but they are usually a maximum of twenty years.

The couple might be extradited but reassurances about their saftey etc needs to happen.

Anything can happen to you up on arrest and while in prison in places like Pakistan and while what they've been accused of is horrific, they still should be treated to the standards we have in the UK.

Why a life insurance for a child?

At a guess, because quite often adopting a child from abroad can be very expensive process, and if the child dies before you take them home or soon after you take them home then you are left without a child and likely little money to go through the process again.

An insurance policy would presumably give you the financial means to go through the adoption process again.

I know I'm missing the point but why is life insurance for a child? No-one suffers a financial loss at the death of a child.

In an Indian cultural context, a son is a pension, social services and several other roles combined.

Is there no petition or pressure to extradite or appeal the extradition?
