Kozhikode: Missing child found dead in creek

PAYYOLI: A two-year-old child that went missing under mysterious circumstance while playing in the verandah of her house was found dead in a creek. Amina Ajuva, daughter of PP Shamseer and Ashara from Kambivalapp near Ayanikkadu Narthana Kalalayam, was found dead in a river stream 50 metres away which raises further questions.

The child went missing on Thursday at around 12 noon. The child's mother searched around the house but couldn't find her. Local residents and neighbours also searched for Amina, but all in vain. A local resident spotted the child floating in the stream and she was then rushed to the hospital but had died by then. The child's father is a fruits vendor. Sister: Selna Mariyam
