Minor girl killed in Churachandpur, Manipur

Lamka, Jun 7 : A fourteen-year-old girl was found brutally murdered with the mutilated body bearing tell tale signs of the brutality. The body of the young girl was found in the interior village of Dawltang in Vangai Range under Tipaimukh sub-division of Churachandpur district, family sources said today.

Chingkhawlkim, 14 daughter of H Sungchinmung of Dawltang village was returning from their jhum field where her parents halted for the night, about 20 minutes walk from their village when the miscreant attacked her, said T Chinggouthang, maternal uncle of the girl. She had visited her parents in their jhum field after attending the Sunday School in their village early on the day.

There were multiple injuries on the head of the minor girl which appear to be marks of a dagger and her throat was almost severed while both her arms were also severely dented, said the uncle who is presently residing here at Bungmual village.

The body was discovered by a middle aged man identified as Thangkhozam from the same village while returning from their neighbouring village of Latingkhal, it adds. He however rule out rape out the contention that the girl may be raped before slaughtering her to death, base on the report she received from his family at the interior village.

Villagers of Dawltang and its surrounding villages have allegedly sounded alerts for the past few days on the presence of people hunting for human parts known locally as ‘Pitkhelgal’ but all the body parts of the girl including her eyes and heart were intact said a source. A case of murder has been registered at Jiribam PS today and the body will be buried tomorrow at her village said the source.
