A burglar who had sex with a corpse after breaking into a funeral
parlour has been jailed for six years. Kasim Khuram, 23, had sex with a
woman’s body after lifting the lids of coffins at the Co-Operative
undertakers in Walsall Road, Great Barr, Birmingham back in November.
Sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court, Judge Melbourne Inman QC said
the crimes “offend all human sensitivity. I am not aware of and nor have
I been able to find any similar case. It would be difficult to think of
a greater deprivation of the dignity of the dead,” he said.
Khuram had forced his way into the parlour at about 03:00 GMT while
high on Mamba and PCP and after drinking vodka. He disturbed “multiple
coffins” and desecrated the bodies of two women.
Khuram, who previously admitted sexual penetration of a body and
burglary, was also ordered to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
