Shock gripped residents of Kisauni following the brutal murder of a 8-year-old girl. The minor is alleged to have been defiled, strangled to death and her body dumped in a borehole. Melissa went missing for six days before her body was found dumped in a well. Reports indicate that the assailant lured Melissa to his house while she was playing a few metres from their home. The suspect defiled the girl before strangling her and then throwing her body into the borehole. It is alleged that the girl took a long time to arrive home, hence her parents became suspicious and started inquiring about her whereabouts within the area but she could not be traced. They then reported her missing at the nearby Police Post. Six days later, her body was found in a borehole by residents who raised the alarm thereby attracting area residents and the relatives of the girl who positively identified her. The body of the deceased is preserved at the Coast General hospital mortuary. The family of deceased is now demanding justice for their kin as reports reveal that the suspect is still walking free, not yet been arrested.
