Body Of Girl, 10, Found In A Pit, A Few Metres From Her Home.
A sombre mood engulfed Karuku Village, Gacharage in Kandara
Constituency after the lifeless body of a 10 year old girl was retrieved from a
100 metre deep borehole.
Margaret Wanjiku Wanjiru, a Standard Two pupil from
Gacharage Primary School, was reported missing on Wednesday the 28th
of September 2016 on her way home after school. It is alleged that she was
abducted by unknown people who are suspected to have first raped her before
killing her and dumping her body into the pit, a few metres from their home.
“The minor has been missing since the 28th
September and was found here today. We are registering this as a case of murder
and we will probe all angles to ascertain the facts behind this heinous act,”
said Gregory Mutiso, the OCPD Kandara.
The police boss said that they have launched a murder hunt
for the perpetrators of this beastly act and appealed to any member of the
public who might have any information that could lead to the arrest of the
culprit(s) to forward the same to his office.
Angry residents who talked to the press said that there were
chances that the girl might have been sexually assaulted before being dumped
into the pit. They alleged that this might be a case of witchcraft or devil
worship as the killers claimed that they were in a mission to sacrifice seven
children and Wanjiku’s case was the first in line.
“This beastly has shocked us all. These people must be devil
worshippers for they are saying that Wanjiku is just the first of the seven
children they plan to sacrifice. But we believe in the living God and these
people will definitely face God’s wrath. We are however worried because such
acts have become so common these days. We suspect that drug abuse might be also
be a cause,” said one man.
Wanjiku’s body was discovered after the perpetrators dropped
a letter near the child’s home detailing facts of how they would locate her
body. They dropped her school books at intervals leading to the borehole where
the body was found.
