A MAN has pleaded guilty to breaking into a funeral home and sexually penetrating a corpse.
Kasim Khuram, 23, from Kenilworth Road, Birmingham, England, today admitted the offence at Birmingham Crown Court.
The court heard that Khuram forced open the door of the Co-op funeral home in Great Barr at around 3am on November 11 this year.
While inside, he lifted the lids of multiple coffins and sexually penetrated one of the corpses.
He also searched the property and stole jewellery.
Police arrested Khuram at the scene after a burglar alarm was activated.
He will be sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on January 31, 2019.
'Disturbing'
Baljinder Kaur, from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said: “This is an unusual case and it is difficult to imagine a more distressing violation of a loved one.
“On the strength of the case built by the police and CPS the defendant ultimately pleaded guilty and will now have to face the consequences.
“Our thoughts are with the families of the deceased.”
DCI John Askew, from West Midlands Police CID, said: “This is an horrendous and disturbing act.
“Our thoughts remain with all those who have been affected by this crime.”
