Woman allegedly practised witchcraft on five-year-old child
Sameera Navas, who was remanded in judicial custody on charge of strangulating her five year-old daughter, will be released in police custody on Thursday for collecting more evidence in the case. The suspected involvement of the woman in witchcraft, which allegedly led to the killing of the child, would be probed in detail during the custody period. Ayesha, Sameera’s daughter, was found dead at her home in the evening of July 7. Sameera, who was arrested on the charge of strangulating the child, was hospitalised after she showed symptoms of mental illness. However, a doctors’ panel from the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, ruled out mental illness. The case would be investigated further under the leadership of Panniyankara Circle Inspector Rajeena K. Joseph. The suspect would be taken into her house for the first time to collect evidence. The statements of her family members, including the elder child, would be recorded.More Related News
