Australian prosecutors on Monday demanded life sentence for a 21-year-old man, who has pleaded guilty of raping and killing Indian student Tosha Thakkar in 2011 before stuffing her in a suitcase and dumping it in a canal.

The Sydney based Supreme Court on Monday heard that accused, Daniel Stani-Reginald, who lived next door had been planning his “cold and calculated” crime well before he raped the 24-year-old Thakkar.

Daniel then stuffed Thakkar’s body in a suitcase, dumped it in a canal and went home to read an article called Beginnings of a Serial Killer, it was told.
