Hyderabad: Three days after the murder of seven-year-old G. Sai Prasanna in Medchal, police arrested a porn addicted teen in connection with the case. The 17-year-old suspect, who came to the house of the victim to steal money, took the girl to the bathroom to molest her. When she raised an alarm as he started stripping her, he took a blade from the spot and injured her. The teen stole Rs 7,000 from the house before escaping.
Cyberabad police said the victim’s aunt had no hand in the murder, and was only trying to rescue the injured kid. Police said the juvenile was an acquaintance of the victim’s family and used to visit their house often. “Three years ago the victim’s family had lived in a house which was owned by the suspect’s father. That’s how he knew the victim and her family,” said inspector S. Rajashekar Reddy of Medchal police.
The murder occurred on Wednesday in a dramatic way. “The suspect came to know that the victim’s parents were away and only the children were in the house. He sneaked into the house while the victim was playing with her dog and her elder sister was sleeping. He used an already available key to open the almirah and stole Rs 7,000. Suddenly the girl came in and saw the suspect. When she questioned him he told her that he came into the house as per the directions of her father to get his Aadhaar card. The victim then went back to play with her dog. The teen then decided to molest her,” said the inspector.
A Class X dropout, the teen had watched a lot of porn. He called the victim into the bathroom telling her that he would show her something and tried to strip her. “When the girl started shouting the suspect picked up a blade and cut her wrist to warn her. Meanwhile, he also heard the sound of her aunt coming in from the gate. He then cut the victim’s neck, escaped from the house and jumped over the compound wall,” said the officer.
The suspect then went to Dabilpur village and drank four bottles of beer. When police arrested him he had Rs 6,200 with him. Cops produced him before a juvenile justice court. Cases of murder, theft and outraging a woman’s modesty were booked against him.
