Teenager arrested over murder of toddler
Bengaluru: A 14-year-old boy allegedly killed a toddler in the limits of Soaldevanahalli police station limits.
The deceased has been identified as Venkatesh (2), son of Basavaraj and Venkamma of Raichur. Police have arrested a teenager related to the murder.
Incident details:
According to police, the accused reared some pigeons at home. The bird droppings had led to quarrel between his parents and neighbours including Basavaraj's family.
A couple of days ago, there was an altercation between both the families.
On Wednesday afternoon, the boy found one of the pigeons missing at home and spotted it sitting nearby on the road. As he ran to catch the bird, the child reportedly came in between. By the time he could react, the bird flew away.
Police said the angry teenager allegedly took the child to a nearby plantation, dumped him on the ground and stamped him to death with his feet. Later, he fled from the spot.
The toddler's parents went in search when they did not find him for quite some time. They found the child lying in the plantation and rushed him to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead, police said.
