Attock May 20: The Attock Khurd Police arrested three alleged murderers involved in killing two people and injuring two others over a dispute regarding a girl’s abduction at Daknair Village last Friday.

A total of five people were accused of the killings, of which three, Sher Niaz and his two sons Shah Nawaz and Sher Zaman, were arrested.

The court of the judicial magistrate Attock on Monday awarded a three-day physical remand of the three arrested killers when they were produced before the court.

Earlier, the police had registered a double murder, attempted murder and kidnapping case against five people on the complaint of Abdul Sattar who alleged that the five had abducted a girl, and when the relatives had approached them, the five killed Shaukat (the girl’s brother) and Iftikhar.

The girl has still not been recovered, and the two remaining killers are at large. —Correspondent
