Shillong Police Call 7-Year-Old’s Death a Homicide, SIT Probe Likely

Community alarm mounts after a second child death in Nongrah within a month.

Overview

  • Kyrshanbor Kharmudai was reported missing from Nongrah on Wednesday and was found Thursday morning in a forested area near Mawpat/Lum Rumnong.
  • East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem said a Special Investigation Team is likely to be formed to handle the case.
  • Initial observations indicate the body was placed at the recovery site, and police sealed the area for forensic examination with the Crime Scene Unit and local outposts.
  • The remains were sent to NEIGRIHMS for autopsy, with the post-mortem expected to clarify the injuries and shape the next steps of the investigation.
