A DAY after the postmortem shockingly revealed that the four-year-old girl child from Mattakkuzhi, Ernakulam, who was found dead in the Chalakudy River, was also the victim of prolonged sexual abuse, police on Thursday arrested her father's brother.
The accused was arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act and the Juvenile Justice Act, in connection with the sexual abuse. He has been moved to Muvattupuzha sub jail.
Meanwhile, the mother, who was initially arrested for her alleged role in throwing the victim into the river, has been placed in judicial custody for five days in connection with the Pocso case.
