Parents of the five-year-old migrant child, who was raped and murdered in Aluva early this year, have called for capital punishment for the accused.
Their plea comes just hours before the Additional District Sessions Court for trying atrocities against women and children in Ernakulam in set to pronounce the sentence against the accused Asafak Alam, 29, of Bihar here on Tuesday.
The father of the victim, also from Bihar, said that he had full faith in the Kerala government. “He should be hanged. He had no right to live. If let outside, another child will have to face the same fate as my daughter. People like him will not change. He is a demon in the form of a human,” he said.
