Larkana police on Wednesday confirmed that they have arrested two suspects in connection with the murder of a nine-year-old girl, whose dead body was found last week.
The arrests were made after Larkana's Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Abdullah Sheikh and SSP Tanweer Tunio were issued notices by the Sindh High Court (SHC), ordering them to appear in court and submit a report on the murder on May 7.
On April 25, a day after she was reported missing, the victim's dead body was found floating in a pond near a hotel on Larkana-Naudero Road.
After preliminary medical examination of her body, police surgeon Dr Saleem Shaikh had said that the girl was subjected to attempted rape, whereas the cause of her death was ascertained to be asphyxia.
