Kasim Khuram, 23, Facing Jail as he Admits ASSAULTING with Corpse in Funeral Parlour

Kasim Khuram, 23, of Kenilworth Road, Aston, Birmingham has admitted assaulting with a corpse after lifting the lids of 'multiple coffins' at a funeral parlour.

He was charged with abuse of a corpse and trespass following a break-in at a Co-op funeral parlour in Great Barr on Sunday 11 November.



Kasim Khuram pleaded guilty today of assaulting the body after illegally entering the Central England Co-operative undertakers in Great Barr, Birmingham, on Sunday, November 11 and violating a body that was lying in a coffin.



A judge adjourned Khuram's sentencing for a psychiatric report until January 31, but warned the defendant he was facing a 'substantial' jail term.



In a statement released after his appearance today, a Crown Prosecution Service spokesman said Khuram 'forced open the door' of the home at about 3am.



'While inside the funeral home the defendant lifted the lids of multiple coffins and abused one of the corpses.'



'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.

He appeared in custody in Birmingham Crown Court flanked by a security officer, and gave the thumbs-up to supporters in the public gallery during a 10-minute hearing.

Relatives of the deceased were in court during the hearing.
