Three boys – two aged 12 and another 13 – who gangraped and killed an 8-year-old girl, a junior from their school, in Andhra Pradesh’s Nandyal district on July 7 had watched porn videos on mobile phones and tried to recreate the sexual assault on the minor.

According to a report by India Today, the heinous crime took place at a temple.

After committing the assault, the trio strangled the minor to death fearing of being arrested if the girl complained to her parents about rape.

Accused’s father & uncle dumped the girl’s body

The report quoted Nandyal SP Adhiraj Singh Rana as saying after murdering the girl, they kept her body in the canal.

One of the accused then called his relatives and told them about the crime. Soon after, his father and uncle rushed to the spot, fearing that the children would face legal charges, and then took the body of the minor on a two-wheeler to a far-off place.

They then tied the girl’s body to a rock and threw it into the Krishna River, Rana further said.

The police officer said that the minors and relatives had been arrested.

The accused, who raped the Class 3 student, were arrested on July 10 and during the questioning, all three admitted to raping and murdering the girl.

Two of the accused study in the sixth standard, while the third is a class 7 student.

They also confessed to the police that they spotted the girl playing near Muchumarri park and as she knew them by their face, they persuaded her to join them to play.

They then gagged her near an isolated spot and raped her in turns.

Search for minor’s body continues

The victim’s body has not yet been found and cops continue to search for it, Rana said.

“Six police teams, expert swimmers, dog squads, drone cameras, technical teams, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams are conducting a search operation for the body,” the police said.

On Tuesday, the police reconstructed the crime scene and zeroed in on a particular search area to find the victim.

Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has sanctioned financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh to the kin of the minor girl.
