TIMERGARA, Nov 18: Bodies of three persons who died in different incidents in Saudi Arabia during Eid holidays have reached the Lower Dir district.

The body of another man who was murdered in the kingdom would arrive here after Saudi authorities completed legal formalities. Two of the victims were scheduled to get married after Eid.

Anwarzeb, who had been working in Saudi Arabia for the last three years, had fallen down from the third floor of an under-construction building while Fazal Hayat died in a road accident. His body was dispatched home by his friends.

Unfortunately Fazal's friends also met with a road accident on their way home from the airport. Ikram was changing a tyre of his car when a speeding vehicle ran over him. He died on the spot.

The body of the victim who had been murdered would arrive in Samarbagh from Saudi Arabia after the authorities there completed legal formalities.
