Indonesia:
A man in his thirties allegedly stabbed to death a seven-year-old girl in the Azad Nagar area of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Friday, police said.
The suspect’s house was demolished after his arrest because it had been built illegally, an official said.
Azad Nagar Police Station chief Indresh Tripathi told PTI that police had been notified after Mahenoor (7)’s body was found in a pool of blood at her neighbor Saddam’s house Friday morning. It had multiple stab wounds.
Mr Saddam was arrested on suspicion and admitted to killing her, but the motive behind the crime was not clear, the official said.
There were tensions in the area with locals demanding strict action against the accused, he said.
“On the orders of senior officials, Saddam’s house, which had been built illegally, was demolished in the evening,” Tripathi said.
