A SMALL child is feared to have been brutally sacrificed by witch doctors – in a bid to locate a neighbour’s missing phone.
Little Sunu Godba’s body was found in a jungle near her home with her head cut off and hands and legs removed.
She had been missing since October 24 from a village in upper Assam in northeast India which is notorious for witchcraft.
Since the gruesome discovery on Monday cops are now hunting two witch doctors.
They are believed to have been employed by Sunu’s neighbour Hanuman Bhumi to find his daughter’s mobile.
Sunu’s heartbroken dad Susun said: “I cannot believe my neighbour who was very nice to my daughter and loved her as her own uncle, can kill her for his greed.
“We are devastated with the loss of our daughter. She was an innocent child and did not deserve this painful death.
“We are distraught.”
Bhumi, 45, lived next door to Susun Godba, 35, in Ratanour village and were good friends.
But instead of letting the police know about the lost phone, Bhumi asked two sorcerers to help.
And they allegedly decided to sacrifice the little girl to appease their ‘God’.
