KOHAT, April 8: Police have solved the murder case of a girl and a boy, who were allegedly killed in the name of honour in Barawal area on Saturday.

The investigation officer of the case, Lateef Khan, told Dawn that one Israr had informed the Saddar police in the first information report that his nine-year-old daughter came to his room at around 2.30am on Saturday and told him that her sister Bushra, 18, was lying on the floor and she seemed to be sick.

According to the complainant, when he entered the room he found Bushra and one Nizamuddin lying in a pool of blood. They had been shot several times. The complainant had said that at the time of the murder his son Abdul Baqi was sleeping in his room and somebody had killed the two after entering their house.

Mr Lateef said that according to his findings Abdul Baqi had killed his sister and the boy and Israr had made up a flimsy story to hide the facts. He said the suspects had claimed that they had not heard the sound of firing in the room next to theirs.

The suspects have not been arrested yet.

Nizamuddin, a relative of Israr, worked as a receptionist in a clinic and he regularly went to the home to administer injections to him.

Mr Lateef said Nizamuddin’s parents had charged Israr and Abdul Baqi in an FIR registered on Saturday.
