Accused confesses to rape, murder

Police said that when he was returning home after doing his shift duty, he picked up the sleeping girl from the compound of her house. He admitted that he had raped her in a vacant industrial plot half a kilometre from her house. She was sick and died, Satish said.

Police said Satish used to visit red light areas but his lust was never satisfied. He started kidnapping minor girls. The body of the victim was recovered on September 10. It was found in the same condition as those of other minor girls kidnapped earlier, giving rise to the suspicion that it was the handiwork of the same person.
