Dead body of missing 10-year-old found in Sakinaka nullah

After a 10-year-old boy was killed by his 15 year-old neighbour on Thursday night, the Sakinaka Police traced the dead body of the deceased from an Andheri-based nullah on Saturday afternoon. As part of the probe of the said murder case, the police have detained two teenagers. One of the teenagers, a 15 year-old, has been booked for allegedly sodomising the deceased and strangulating him to death while the other teen has been booked for making the extortion call to the father of the dead child.

According to the police, on Saturday afternoon, the locals residents of Sakinaka spotted a red coloured trolley bag which had came down flowing to Safed Pool area from 90 feel road based nullah. The cops after discovering the inflated body rushed it to KEM hospital for postmortem. While sharing the latest developments in the case, a police source said, the accomplice of the prime accused in the case after asking for ransom money of Rs 5 lakhs from the deceased father's had discarded the SIM card. The police picked up the accused duo on the basis of Call Record Details (CDR).

"The 10 year-old on Thursday evening had left his residence to go for his tuition and the accused who is his neighbour somehow convinced him to come at his place. The accused first tried to sexually abuse the kid and on being refused, the accused strangulated him and stuffed his body in a trolley bag which was at his home. He then managed to take the bag on his scooter where he drove to the nullah and later he dumped the body and left for home," said a police officer.

When the parents of the 10 year-old called the tuition teacher, they realized that the kid never made it there and the accused teen after dumping the body acted normal and also helped those tensed parents to trace their mysteriously missing kid. Preliminary investigation of the case have revealed that the accused had taken the school bag of the kid and after the murder, he had stuffed the boy's shirt inside the bag and had kept on the roof of a public toilet to portray that the boy went missing himself.

"The accused was addicted to some intoxicants and was also frequently accessesing porn websites and crime anthology series on television which might have helped him to plan the murder plot. In his confession, the accused have said that while trying to abuse the kid physically, the boy shouted and in a bid to silence him he strangled him for 20 minutes and ensured that the kid dies," added the officer.

As per the relatives of the kid, the neighbors were in good terms with the family of the kid and they never sensed something suspicious. "The teen was a good friend of our child and used to bring gifts and eatables for him frequently. We believe that the teen's parents also might have helped him in the murder as it not possible for a single boy to take the bag and dump the body all by himself. We expect the police to investigate the case thoroughly as it it about the security of all such children who can similarly meet the same fate like out child," said a relative while speaking to DNA.

The two teens have been booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The accused teenage duo will be produced in court on Sunday.
