Close on the heels of a sensational killing of a girl in the national Capital, a similar murder took place in Azamgarh where the body of the victim was recovered in several pieces on Tuesday morning. After brutally killing the girl and chopping her body into pieces, the killer dumped the body into a well.
The local police rushed to the spot along with senior officers and took out the body pieces and sent them for autopsy. Further investigations are being made to identify the victim and to arrest the killer.
The incident came to light when the people of the village came out of the village for their farming work. During this, someone looked into a well at the roadside and saw the mutilated body of a young girl lying in it. The villagers informed the police about the incident. On getting information, the police rushed to the spot.
According to reports, some villagers in Gauri Ka Pura of Paschimpatti village in Azamgarh district reached the well on Tuesday morning and were shocked to see some pieces of a body inside the well. They immediately called the police who took out all the pieces and later suspected it to be a woman, probably in their mid-twenties. The girl’s head, arms and legs were chopped off. There were no clothes on the body of the deceased and it appeared that she was gang-raped before being killed. A watch was also found in one of the hands of the girl. Station House Officer Yogendra Bahadur Singh said it appeared that the victim was killed two days ago but they were waiting for a post-mortem report besides trying to ascertain the identity of the victim.
