KALABURAGI: Police announced on Thursday that a 16-year-old boy had been arrested in connection with the rape and murder of a little girl in the Kalaburagi district.
The results of the investigations showed that the accused boy was addicted to watching porn. He spent most of his time watching pornographic films while continually on his phone, police said.
On Tuesday evening the 15-year-old girl, who had gone out to attend nature's call, was seen dead. The preliminary investigations suggested that the girl was killed after becoming the victim of a gang rape.
Isha Panth, the superintendent of police in Kalaburagi, organised a special team that made three arrests of children within a day. However, it was found throughout the inquiry that the 16-year-old accused juvenile was the one who had actually committed the crime.
The perpetrator sexually attacked the girl after dragging her into the sugarcane farm. The culprit strangled the victim to death with her dupatta after smashing her chest with a large stone. The boy committed the deed and then ran away. The girl had scratches all over her body. The police said, the accused followed the victim as soon as she left her house. He killed her out of concern that she may file a complaint.
The police squad will receive a financial incentive of Rs 1 lakh from Panth for solving the crime. She has additionally promised that the court would receive the case's charge sheet soon.
On Tuesday around 3 p.m., the victim had left the house to answer nature's call. The girl's relatives began looking for her after she was gone from home for an extended period of time. Finally, the villagers recognised her sandals, and the same day, late in the evening, the girl's body was discovered close to a sugarcane farm.
Police said, the child was enrolled in Class 9 and was staying with a cousin. Locals have expressed gratitude to the police department for finding the accused quickly.
