Kannur: A 12-year-old girl in Kerala on Tuesday confessed to have killed her four-month-old cousin sister by throwing her into a well near Kannur in Kerala.
Officials sources said that earlier on Monday night, the four-month-old girl, Yasika, daughter of Tamil Nadu natives Muthu and Akkamal, went missing after which a search was conducted.
After a few hours, Yasika’s body was fished out from a well in her house.
After several rounds of questioning, the minor accused, the daughter of Muthu’s brother, confessed to the crime.
After Muthu’s brother passed away last year, the 12-year-old girl has been staying with his family.
Since morning, the police have been questioning Muthu, his niece and Akammal after which the 12-year-old broke down.
Muthu and his wife used to make a living by picking up waste items and Muthu’s niece used to look after Yasika when the couple went out for work.
During interrogation, the minor accused revealed that after the birth of Yasika, she felt that the love and affection of Muthu and Akammal had shifted to their newborn.
After completing all the formalities, she will be produced before the Juvenile Justice Board which will decide the future course of action.
