GWADAR: Bullet-riddled bodies of two people, kidnapped from Kech and Panjgur districts last week, were found on Thursday.

According to official sources, one of the corpses was found in the Kathreenz area near Mand of Kech district.

Personnel of the local administration and Levies force inspected the place and oversaw the transfer of the body to a government hospital.

The man was identified as Azad, son of Chakar.

“The victim was kidnapped last week by some armed men,” a senior Levies officer said, adding that bullets were pumped into his head and chest.

The other body was found in the Keelkaor area of Panjgur.

Levies personnel shifted it to the district hospital. He was identified as Behram, son of Khuda Bakhsh. “Behram was abducted by armed men a week ago from Panjgur,” Levies officials said, adding that multiple bullet wounds were found on the body.

The cause of the killing could not be known. No one claimed responsibility for their kidnapping and killing.

The Levies began an investigation into the incidents.
