QUETTA: Levies personnel recovered three bullet-riddled bodies from Balochistan's Kech district on Sunday.

Levies sources told DawnNews that the bodies were found in the Gorkop area of the Kech district. Local residents had spotted the bodies and had informed Levies personnel.

The bodies were moved to a hospital and later identified as those of Noshad alias Nodo, Abdul Ghani and Maqsood.

A large number of people had gathered at the hospital to help identify the deceased.

"All victims received multiple bullet wounds," Levies sources said, adding that the motive behind the killings could not be ascertained.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the killings.

Last month, security forces found two unidentified dead bodies from Balochistan's Pishin district. The victims were later identified as two brothers, killed apparently during a robbery.

In August 2015, dead bodies of three abducted labourers were recovered from Balochistan's Turbat district. All three had received multiple bullet wounds, and were shot from a close range.
