Virendra "Victor" Govin, 37, should be executed for murdering 4 members of a family in a business dispute, a Los Angeles County Superior Court jury decided Friday. The panel deliberated that Govin and his business partner, Pravin "Peter" Govin, 34, were responsible for the killings of Gita Kumar, 42; her son, Paras Kumar, 18; her daughter, Tulsi Kumar, 16; and her mother-in-law, Sitaben Patel, 63. The victims were strangled May 4, 2002, and burned in a fire at their home. Jurors could not agree on the guilt or innocence of co-defendant Peter Govin. He will be tried again. Sentencing is Sept. 23. Judge Kathleen Kennedy-Powell could choose to impose death or life without parole.
