KARACHI, Sept 2: Two suspected dacoits were burnt to death by enraged people late on Tuesday night in Buffer Zone, witnesses said.

They said two dacoits waylaid a man, Mohammed Riaz, in Sector 15, but some passers-by came to his rescue. They first gave the suspects a good hiding and then put them to the torch.

Edhi ambulances shifted the bodies to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where the suspected bandits remained unidentified.
