Killers who butchered minor girl took 3 hours to chop her body

In the incident that sent shock waves across Delhi, the killers of the 15-year-old girl from Jharkhand, whose dismembered body parts were found in a drain in outer Delhi a fortnight ago, used a cleaver purchased from a market to chop her body into 12 pieces, investigators reportedly said on Monday.

The brutal murder was committed around 11:00 pm on May 3 and police reportedly said that the murder was planned for a week. Manjeet Karketa, a 30-year-old agent of a fake placement agency has already been arrested in connection with the case.

The minor girl was reportedly lured to Delhi three years ago from Jharkhand allegedly by the fake agent with the promise of a high-paying job.

However, she was forced to work as a domestic help at various houses across Delhi. She was murdered by the agent and three others for demanding her salary, around Rs 2 lakh that she had earned working as a domestic help.
