12-Year-Old Girl Kidnapped, Raped And Murdered

In a horrifying attack in India, a 12-year-old girl on her way to a wedding was abducted, and s*xually assaulted, and then her head was crushed against a boulder.

On Sunday, April 21, the tribal girl was attacked and killed in the village of Deori Taluka, Gondia, Maharashtra, by unknown assailants.

The semi-naked body of the Class 6 student was discovered in Ganutola, decaying next to an armed station.

Officers are left looking for hints in a desperate bid to find the attacker who ran away from the scene.

A bloodsmeared boulder was discovered close to the little girl’s remains, who had been missing since April 19.

According to the Times of India, the corpse had cuts on its face and neck, as well as markings on its head from injuries.

Authorities discovered that the rock was still in place, indicating that the 12-year-old had been lifted up and then repeatedly hit in the head and face by the stone.

“She’s likely to have resisted rape, triggering a violent reaction from perpetrators,” said an officer who is part of the investigation.

“This girl could have threatened to expose them or tried to raise an alarm,” they added.

At approximately 8 p.m., the child was seen riding a bike with someone. It was said that she was on her way to a wedding in her area.

Local reports state that the biker’s identity was withheld by the villagers. This coincides with the discovery of a seven-year-old girl’s body on Sunday, April 21, in Masuri, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, in a drain.

The child’s body was found only 50 metres from her house, obscured from view by a stack of bricks that had been placed on top of it.

According to police, who think the perpetrator struck her in the head and disposed of her body in the sewer, an autopsy revealed that she had been sexually raped before to her death.

“The postmortem report has revealed that she suffered some injuries on the head, which resulted in her death,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police Vivek Yadav.

“The report also revealed that the girl was sexually assaulted, after which she was murdered.”

The 12-year-old child was last seen by her family playing with other kids on Saturday evening, April 20. She had been gone since then.

“After it turned dark, her parents started looking for her when she didn’t come home,” said Yadav.

“They visited every house in the area but couldn’t find her. Then they approached the cops and filed a missing person’s complaint,” he added.

Four teams have been formed, police say, in an attempt to apprehend the perpetrator.

“Police are also scanning CCTV cameras of the nearby areas for clues,” said Yadav.
