A 16 year old girl went missing after returning home 3 days after eloping. This may have happened anywhere from December 28,2018 through December 31, 2018. Her parents were not very helpful or concerned. They did not report her missing.
The police started looking for her after her absence was repeatedly complained about on social media. She was found January 6 of this year. The young woman's face was burned with acid and her head separated from her body. Her head was some distance from her body. There was other mutilations. Am autopsy revealed that rape had not occurred prior to death or after.
The honesty of a child helped the police. On questioning, a young sister reported that the last time she saw her was when she left the house with her father's friend, the butcher. He was arrested and admitted his crime. Both parents have been arrested. The local panchayat has remained tight lipped. This is important since I found on my research that they instigate many of these crimes.
I have been looking at these atrocities trying to understand what would cause parents and other supposed intelligent people to allow demons to influence them. All the evidence that I could find leads to the conclusion of greed. A virginal female commands a high bride price. Status in the community holds too much importance. Anybody who interferes with gaining of money or lowering the families or communities supposed status must die a horrible death. It is thought by these demon thralls that this action makes them virtuous. It does to Iblis.
