Minor girl’s suspected murder
SHILLONG: Police have started investigation into the suspected murder of a 16-year-old girl whose body was found at Dam Site, Ri-Bhoi on Friday. The minor girl had gone missing from Umlyngka on July 24.
While the mother of the victim suspects that her daughter has been murdered, police said that it was too early to comment on the incident. The police have also questioned some people in this connection.
“We are awaiting the postmortem report and things would be clear once it is available,” police sources said.
The mother of the victim had filed a missing complaint on July 25 and subsequently lodged another FIR on July 28.
The second FIR was filed after it came to her knowledge that one Juntina Lyngdoh Marshillong (20), her daughter’s friend, who also went missing on the same day (July 24), had come back the next day.
The victim was last seen wearing multi-coloured pants, a brown Khasi apron and slippers.
However, the body which was recovered from Umiam did not have clothes and the face looked burnt.
