Bangalore:
A five-year-old girl found dead near her home in Bangalore's Madiwala area on Tuesday appears to have been sexually assaulted before she was killed, police sources said.
The post-mortem is awaited, but the sources said she appeared to have been tortured. Bite marks were found on the girl's hands and near her eyes.
The girl went missing on Monday evening and was found the next morning close to her home. Her body was sent to Victoria Hospital in Bangalore for post-mortem.
The police are yet to make arrests.
