A six-year-old boy was killed by a man on suspicion of peeping into his bathroom when his wife was bathing in southeast Delhi, police said today.
The boy had gone missing from a slum in Okhla Phase II on September 27, a senior police officer said.
Rohit (19) allegedly killed the boy on Wednesday, Romil Baaniya, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast), said.
The accused hid the body in a box bed. He later stuffed it in a sack, which was found near the boy's house this morning. Some locals informed police on noticing the strong stench.
On finding "Rukmani" written on the sack, a shopkeeper in the area told police that Rukmani's son Rohit had purchased flour from him in that bag, Baaniya said.
The accused lived a few meters away from the boy's home.
