MURREE: Adviser to the Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Ghaus on Saturday said the teacher murder case would properly be investigated and all culprits would be punished in accordance with the law.

“Justice will not only be carried out but it will be seen as well,” he said this while talking to newsmen during his visit to the hill station to get first hand information about progress in the case.

He said that the burning of a young woman was a brutal and barbarian act and whosoever was involved in this heinous crime would not go scot-free.

He said that the Punjab chief minister had taken serious notice of this brutal act and directed the police and other departments concerned to investigate the case purely on merit and bring the murderers to the court of law. On this occasion DSP Raza Khan told the reporters that modern technology was being employed to investigate the case and the police would soon public the real causes of the murder.

He said that all four nominated accused had already been arrested and were being interrogated.
