GWADAR: The Anti-Terrorism Court, Turbat, sentenced two accused to death after prosecution proved their involvement in the rape and murder of a minor girl.

The court on Saturday also awarded seven-year imprisonment and Rs100,000 fine each to accused Jalal and Sadiq. Another accused Bakhtiar was acquitted as prosecution failed to prove his involvement.

Last year, the accused raped the girl in Heeronk area of Turbat before killing her and throwing her body into a well.
