The nightmare began in February when the grandfather reported Muhammad missing. After months of investigation, police cracked the case on April 18, leading to coordinated arrests. The suspects' confessions paint a horrifying picture: the boy was lured from home, butchered in the bush, and his remains dumped in a well.
