LAHORE, April 21: South Cantonment police on Saturday recovered the putrefied body of a young man murdered allegedly for ‘honour’ on March 27 from a manhole near Girja Chowk and shifted it to Mayo Hospital morgue for autopsy.

Suspect Arment Michael, who is in custody, told the police he killed Shabbir Ahamd of Sahiwal with iron rods and dumped his body in a manhole.
