Noida: The brutal murder of Noida girl Aarushi got murkier on Saturday as the prime suspect, the family's domestic help who had gone missing, was found dead on the terrace of their house, police said.
The body of Yam Prasad alias Hemraj, was found after an extensive search was conducted around the house in Jalvayu Vihar in Sector 25, which falls under the Sector 20 police station. The police are not revealing how Hemraj could have died.
Fifteen-year-old Aarushi, a Grade 9 student of Delhi Public School (Noida), was found dead with multiple stab injuries on her face, chest and neck when her father opened her bedroom door at their home here on Friday morning.
The teenager, the only daughter of a dentist couple, had eaten dinner with her family on Thursday night and then retired to her separate room in the three-bedroom apartment.
At 6am on Friday, her father Rajesh Talwar woke up to open the door for a part-time domestic help and peeped into Aarushi's room.
To his horror, he found his daughter lying dead in a pool of blood. Her throat was slit and there were stab wounds on her forehead, shoulder and chest, said Superintendent of Police Mahesh Mishra.
She was rushed to hospital where doctors declared her dead.
