Police said 26-year-old Nawab Ali Qureshi had taken the child to a bazaar on Thursday, showered her with gifts and told her how much she meant to him. With the family resting in the terrace, he had taken the child to a room on the ground floor of the house and slit her throat. Qureshi then went back to sleep.
