IMPHAL - In a gruesome incident, which highlights militants’ real face, a mother and her young daughter have been brutally killed here.
The bodies of the widow and her teenaged daughter had been found in an open paddy field here on Saturday, bearing marks of rape before being killed. The victims have been identified as Chanbi Devi (36) and Menaka (17) alias Abemcha Devi, a student of standard IX, of Phayeng Makha Leikai in Imphal district.
The mother-daughter had been abducted by some miscreants on the night of January 12.
The bodies were found lying at a distance by villagers. The clothes of the deceased were found disheveled and body parts of both the victims had also been damaged.
Villagers then informed the police, who upon reaching the spot inspected the decomposed bodies.
Chanbi Devi, was a mother of three. Her son Raghu told reporters that the intruders, who had come to their house in that night, called for his mother and asked her to come outside the house to discuss some matter.
“I don’t know what really happened as I was sleeping. But I heard the sound of someone opening the door. The intruders asked my mother to put off the lights and asked her to come out to discuss some matter and also asked my sister to come along so that my mother does not feel lonely.” said Raghu.
On Saturday, some locals who had gone to their field for routine work sensed something fishy after a foul smell was emanating from the area. On search, they found the bodies of mother and daughter in a decomposed state.
Relatives of the victim suspect that the mother and the daughter might have been raped and then murdered.
“We found both mother and daughter in a very bizarre condition. Finding in such a brutal position, we believe that they were raped and murdered. I was shocked to see both of them in that condition. When no one was ready to pick them up, I rushed to pick them up. Tomorrow I will be going to the police station to register a case,” said A. Ingojao Singh, a relative of Chanbi Devi. (ANI)
