The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has given instructions to charge the suspect who was held in connection with Amarah Lallitte’s killing on Monday.
39-year-old Isan Contant was arrested on April 8 and remained in police custody since the murder was discovered.
He is expected to appear in court on Monday.
The four-year-old girl’s decapitated body was found after 9 pm by her mother after she returned with the police from filing a report of a domestic disturbance.
Lallitte’s mutilated corpse was found in a bedroom, while her head had been cut off and stashed in a barrel at the back of the house at Fifth Street, Five Rivers, Arouca.
