Previously, the girl’s family suspected that Lekhraj Gautam had kidnapped and murdered the girl to avenge the death of his wife, who was killed by the girl’s uncle six years ago. Her uncle had recently been released on bail and Lekhram had threatened revenge for her wife’s death. An FIR has already been registered against Gautam due to a complaint from relatives.
The girl was the eldest of two children and had been missing since Wednesday afternoon, after which her relatives searched for her, but to no avail. “It appeared that the girl was confined to a house in the village and the defendant killed her after midnight,” SHO Singahi Pradeep Kumar said.
This is the third such incident in which a girl was raped and killed in Kheri.
Previously, a 13-year-old Dalit girl was gang-raped and murdered by two in the Isanagar area on August 14 and an 18-year-old Dalit girl was raped and brutally murdered by a young man in the Neemgaon area on August 25.
