According to reports, unknown assailants got into the girl’s house through a window at around 3 am while she and her brother were sleeping.
The assailants abducted the 13-year-old girl, leaving behind her seven-year-old brother. The girl’s body was later found dumped at a nearby stream, with detectives believing she was strangled.
School socks suspected to have been used to strangle the girl were found at the scene.
