The parents of a five-year-old girl have been arrested for torturing a boy to death after they wrongly accused him of rape. The boy was allegedly tied to a chair and beaten with a hammer for several hours before he was stabbed and suffocated with a plastic bag and a cushion. It was claimed that he had raped their daughter, but there was no evidence that she had been harmed. The parents were arrested along with neighbours in Temuco, southern Chile. They were named as Johana Mora Villagran, Pablo Morales Correa, Abraham Brava Palma and Victor Chanqueo Mora.

All four have been remanded in custody while investigations continue. The boy is believed to have been an orphan who sold calendars at a bus station to make money for food.  State prosecutor Roberto Garrido revealed in court two of the men tracked the boy down and took him to a property belonging to another of the suspects before tying him up and assaulting him. He said the torture continued when the property owner arrived with the female suspect.
The youngster is said to have been killed around 5am on Monday, some 10 hours after his ordeal began. The pair blamed for suffocating him to death have been described as the five-year-old’s parents. The youngster, who slept on and off at a children’s home, suffered multiple injuries including several broken bones. His body was found under a bed covered with a blanket hours after he was killed. Local police chief Victor Ruiz said all four detainees had confessed.
Local reports said the boy was targeted after the five-year-old’s older sister told her parents she had been sexually assaulted by him.
