The relatives of schoolgirl Malini Persad have called for justice after a body believed to be that of the autistic teenager was found in Barrackpore.

They want the “monster” who took away the teenager to be prosecuted.

Shortly after midday on Thursday, members of the Hunters Search and Rescue Team, led by Vallence Rambharat, found a decomposing body in a forested area near KPA Trace, off GP Road.
