The teenager was reportedly dragged from a thatched shed outside her home when she was bathing there. The girl was alone at home at that time.

Police suspect she was beaten with an iron road on her head. Police sources said the teen had severe injuries on her head and that going by the nature of injuries on her body, there are clear signs of rape.
