KOCHI: The child Norah Maria, who was murdered in Kaloor on Tuesday, and her elder sibling, aged five years, hail from a broken family, said experts on Wednesday. Officials of child welfare committee (CWC) said that both parents wanted their custody and had raised allegations against each other. Senior policemen said that they were yet to ascertain how the children were deprived of parental care.
CWC chairperson Bitty Joseph said an enquiry by the district child protection unit was held recently due to allegations and counter allegations by the families of both parents.
