This is extremely brutal and savagery. My heart is totally shuttered and seriously aggrieved at this brutal murder of a defenseless and harmless little girl-child. We need to strengthen our penal code and make such mindless brutal crimes against defenseless and harmless children severely punished with very long terms of imprisonment. Crimes against children and gender-based crimes must not be tolerated anymore in our society
Very shameful,am short of words
