Police hunt rapist who killed 8-year-old
Print Edition
POLICE in southern India were yesterday searching for a man suspected of raping and murdering an 8-year-old girl, in the latest shocking sex attack in the country.
Superintendent B. Ramesh said they are hunting a man in his early 20s, captured on CCTV, who is thought to have bitten the child’s genitalia before smothering her to death.
“Bite marks and injuries on her private parts (suggest) the victim was molested and raped before she was smothered to death by an unidentified youth aged (between) 22 and 25 years,” Ramesh said.
“We have formed eight search teams to trace the culprit.”
CCTV footage released by police showed a man playing with the schoolgirl before leading her into a deserted shed on the outskirts of Bangalore, the state capital of Karnataka.
Later he is seen emerging without the girl.
Police found the mutilated body of the victim on Thursday after her parents, who were working at a local brick factory at the time of the attack, reported her missing.
