Chennai: A six-year-old girl who was fast asleep was thrown into a farm well from where her lifeless body was fished out in Kalpattu village, in neighbouring Kancheepuram district, on Monday.
Police said Divya (6), a class I student in a local school, was found missing. The girl’s parents Sathish Kumar and Devaki realized the girl’s absence when the latter woke up to drink water at around 1.30 am.
The family alerted the neighbours and sought their help to locate the missing child. The child was found afloat in the farm well which was about 500 m away from the house and was moved to Chengelpet GH by Chunambed police.
The farm well was 31 ft deep and had over 6 ft water. Preliminary investigations suggest that the girl was murdered. There were no external injuries on the body and the cops maintained that they would know whether the girl was sexually only after the post-mortem examination which is scheduled on Tuesday.
