On Friday, April 26, 2024, a gruesome video emerged online depicting the lifeless body of the toddler lying in a laundry shop with its internal organs harvested.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect is a neighbor of the victim’s mother. The mother routinely left her son at the laundry shop during market days, but on this fateful day, she returned to find him missing.
Upon searching the shop, the mother discovered her son’s body amidst blood-stained clothing. Her screams alerted neighbors, who rushed to the scene.
“We found a knife near the clothes, which appeared to have been used to kill the child,” a witness recounted.
