With the autopsy report of Sherin Mathews ruling that the Indian girl died of “homicidal violence,” police in the US state of Texas on Thursday said they would pursue the case to ensure justice for the 3-year-old.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office yesterday ruled that the death of Sherin, the adopted daughter of Indian-American couple Wesley Mathews and Sini Mathews, was homicide.
Sherin went missing from her home in Richardson on October 7 and her body was found on October 22 in a culvert in suburban Dallas after an intense search. The toddler’s body was identified days later using her dental records. The Richardson Police Department on Wednesday said the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office has completed its work and released the Sherin’s autopsy report.
“It has listed the cause of death as homicide and the manner as homicidal violence,” the police said in a Facebook post. “The Richardson Police Department is continuing to work with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office in pursuit of justice for Sherin,” it said.
