For days now the city has read, watched and heard in horror about the alleged murder of a three-and-a-half-year-old girl. The child, living in Colaba, was allegedly flung out of a window of a seventh floor building. The accused, a friend of the girl's father, is in custody.

The cops have claimed that the accused threw the child because he practised black magic. He was told that he could get rid of some curse on him, if he killed the child and her twin sister, who was unharmed.
