Alleged
killer rapist confesses to another crime Police are investigating whether he may have been involved in other killings in the area. The suspect, a notorious cattle thief in the area, had led the police to a place where he had buried the mentally ill girl after raping and killing her. This incident had taken place more than one and a half years ago with the suspect being helped by an accomplice in the killing. Both men are now in custody. The main suspect was arrested after the body of the latest victim Tashila Manohari was recovered. Hiniduma police had received a complaint two week prior to the incident from the suspect’s wife that he had raped his own daughter who was the same age as the victim. However they could not find the man when they went looking for him. After the body of Tashila, a Grade Three student of Weerapana Maha Vidyalaya was recovered, the police had suspected the man may be involved in the killing and gone to his house. He was found hiding in the attic and arrested following which he confessed to the killing and rape of the young victims. While digging up the site where the bones of one victim was found, police said they found the bones of another person whom they suspect may have been a victim of the same man. These bones have been sent to the JMO of the area for examination. |
