SHILLONG, OCT 6: The Meghalaya State Commission for Women (MSCW) has demanded stern action against the perpetrator behind the murder of a 15 year old girl in East Garo hills district.
“We urged the state government and departments concern to immediately take up stern legal action against the perpetrator who have committed this blatant act which should be condemned by all,” MSCW’s chairperson Theilin Phanbuh said on Monday.
Phanbuh said, “The gruesome murder of an innocent young girl of only 15 years Grikchina N.Sangma, a student of Sacret Heart H.S.School of Kusimkolgre, Williamnagar reported in the state & national media has once again put our society to shame.”
The MSCW view this murder seriously with deep concern, anguish and pain on and strongly condemned the inhuman and ghastly nature of this act, Phanbuh said while expressing solidarity and grief with the bereaved family..
“The crimes against women and girls are increasing day by day, for how long we can tolerate these acts of violence by these criminals,” Phanbuh questioned.
The body of a fifteen year old girl was recovered with her head, arms and torso apart from a jungle in a remote village of East Garo hills district. Police said the girl was reported missing from her residence since the past one week.
The naked body, highly decomposed, was recovered in a jungle near Songsak road a little away from Kisumgolgre village in the district. Police informed that the head and arms were found separate near the place where the body was dumped.
East Garo hills SP Davis Marak said the girl identified as Grikchina N Sangma is suspected to have been raped before she was murdered.
Marak said that the body was in a highly decomposed state. “He informed, “The flesh eaten by wild animals was difficult to tell whether she was raped before murder. He added that since there were no clothes on her body and her body parts recovered from a little distance away, police suspect that she was raped before being murdered.
Sangma’s missing report was first filed by her step father on September 28 but he was picked up and arrested based on a second FIR filed by the girl’s mother on October 1, Marak informed.
The step father who had married the girl’s mother since she was four year-old was first questioned by the mother’s relative in a clan’s meeting which was convened after the girl’s disappearance.
Since he could not give satisfactory replies and his statements to the clan elders were contradictory, his wife lodged an FIR against him, police said. Police are waiting for post mortem report from the doctor.- By Our Reporter
