Amarjeet Sada allegedly murdered babies and family members to become the world's "youngest serial killer." Experts described him as "sadistic" and incapable of telling the difference between right and wrong.

The first person he killed was his 6-year-old cousin. After that, he is believed to have killed his 8-month-old sister.

His third victim was a baby girl aged six months. The girl named Kushboo was a neighbor.

According to his mother, she had left the kids sleeping while she was doing some chores. On coming back, the baby was nowhere to be found, and a search was immediately started.

After a few hours, Sada admitted to the authorities that he had taken Kushboo. He claimed to have hit her with bricks before strangling her.

Following the shocking admission, he showed the villagers where he had buried his baby sister. She was in a field nearby.

Based on Sada's uncle, some family members were aware of the first two killings the boy had committed. However, they were not reported since these issues were considered "family matters."

After learning that he had killed his baby sister, the police took Sada into custody. He seemed unbothered by what he had done and would smile, showing no remorse.

He also admitted that he had killed his cousin before his sister.

The investigators had determined that the killings were carried out in a similar version.

Psychologists determined that he was a "sadist who derives pleasure from inflicting injuries." He was also described as not having a sense of right or wrong.

Under Indian law, a child cannot be imprisoned or executed. Therefore, he was probably held in a children's home in Bihar until he was 18.

Reportedly, he was released in 2016, but as of today, no one knows where he is.
