6-year-old raped, killed by teenager in Salem district
A six-year-old girl was raped and murdered allegedly by a teenager in Salem district on Sunday evening. Police found the body in an aluminium vessel in the pooja room of his house in Thelunganur village near Mettur.
According to police, the girl, daughter of a fisherman and a Class II student of a Government school, was walking on the street when the 17-year-old boy, a school dropout, lured her with sweets and sexually assaulted her in his house. Fearing that she might tell her parents about it, the boy allegedly strangled her to death.
“He also inflicted injuries on her cheeks and stomach using a blade,” said a police officer.
Accused attempts to flee
The girl’s father, who was looking for her on Saturday evening, lodged a complaint with the Kolathur police on Sunday morning and named the boy a suspect after some people noticed the girl walking with the accused the previous evening.
A police team picked up the boy, who reportedly tried to flee. On being questioned, he is said to have confessed to raping and killing the girl.
