The said accused/principal offendor may get a punishment of life imprisonment or if proved that the said murders were rarest of the rare nature, then he/she can also get death penalty as a punishment. As per section 302 of Indian Penal Code, Punishment for murder.—Whoever commits murder shall be punished with death, or 1[imprisonment for life], and shall also be liable to fine.

the law provides for death or life imprisonment for the person accused of murder. If the murder falls in the category of rarest of rare crime than courts sentance person to the death penalty otherwise life imprisonment. in this case, the crime is very heinous and looks to be the serial killer. therefore, the person will be sentanced to death most probably. rest depends on evidence etc
