A 10-year-old girl was kidnapped, raped and bludgeoned to death at Bollarum on Saturday night.
The victim has been identified as a painter’s daughter from Macha Bollarum in Hyderabad. She was a third class student at a local school in Bollarum. At 3.30pm on Saturday, girl’s parents went to the local toddy store with the girl.
“While the parents were busy consuming toddy, Anil Kumar, a centring worker, took the girl away by luring her with a chocolate,” Bollarum inspector S Maheswar told Times of India.
After consuming toddy, parents of the victim began searching for her. On Sunday morning, locals found the body of the victim lying at an isolated place behind First EME Centre near Eagle Chowk, Bollarum. “The accused raped the girl and then killed her by throwing a boulder on the head,” the inspector said.
Police have launched a man hunt to nab Anil Kumar, who has a criminal past. He was charged with rape and murder.
