GUJRANWALA, July 27: The body of a youth, who was killed by outlaws in Greece on resistance during a dacoity bid, reached Wazirabad on Sunday.

Eitazaz Arshed Butt, son of bank manager Arshed Butt, went to Greece along with his friends for livelihood a few years ago. He was asleep at his residence along with his friends when Nigerian outlaws entered the room and looted him. They killed him for holding them out and escaped while threatening his friends of dire consequences. Later, the Greece police arrested the accused and sent the body of the deceased to Pakistan. On Sunday, he was laid to rest in Dhaunkhel.

The heirs of the deceased demanded that the government should recover compensation from the Greece government.
