PANAJI: An Indian man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly raping and murdering a four-year-old girl whose body was thrown from a building in the western holiday state of Goa, police said.
A married 22-year-old labourer from eastern Bihar state was held after the body of the girl was found in a pit on a construction site on Tuesday, Police Inspector Santosh Desai told AFP.
The child, from Mumbai, was staying at her grandparents' home when she went missing on Sunday.
"He lured the girl with an offer of giving her a chocolate and took her to the building nearby," Desai said.
The accused confessed to killing the girl after raping her as he feared she would tell her grandparents, the policeman added.
