CHITRAL, Aug 4: One of the three servants of the slain Spanish national, Jody, who was killed by unidentified assailants on Saturday, was also found dead in the bathroom of his residence later in the day.

Wazir Ali Shah, 13, of Birir valley, had also been stabbed to death. He was serving at the Spaniard’s home for the last three years. The autopsy on both the bodies was carried out in the District Headquarters Hospital here on Sunday.

Another servant, Asif, an Afghan, has disappeared from the valley after the murder, while the third servant, who had reported the murder of his master to the police, has been taken into custody for interrogation.

Sources said the intelligence agencies had already advised the government to extradite Jody on account of his suspicious activities and the provincial government had directed the district administration to investigate the matter and keep the foreigner under watch.

Jody’s body will be sent to his native country, Spain.
