The body of a minor girl who went missing from a village in Muzaffarpur district since Saturday was found lying in a field and the police said prima facie it appeared to be a case of rape and murder.
The police recovered her body from the field, 500 metres away from her residence, at Musahari village yesterday morning, Station House Officer of Musahari Women's police station Jyoti Kumari said.
Some villagers spotted the girl's body, with several injury marks and informed the deceased's family members and the police, the SHO said.
The body has been sent to Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) Muzaffarpur for post-mortem.
