Arrests over 10-year-old's death in India

Tuesday, 7 March 2017 07:00

Police in the south Indian state of Karnataka have arrested three people in connection with the murder of a 10-year-old girl.

Officials have reported that the child was killed on the instructions of a sorcerer to cure a paralysed man.

The murder was discovered after residents discovered the body of the girl inside a bag. They also found materials which police believe were used to conduct "black magic" rituals.

The man's brother and sister have been arrested on charges of abducting and murdering the girl. A 17-year-old has also been arrested for helping to abduct the girl.

Police have said investigations are still on-going.
