Four accused in Karachi's Do Darya murder case sent to jail on judicial remand

A judicial magistrate in Karachi on Friday sent four suspects involved in the Do Darya murder case to jail on judicial remand.

Zafir, an 18-year-old student at DHA college, was killed and another youth was injured in a gun attack on December 4.

The two youths travelling in a Mercedes were on their way to have breakfast at the beach when they had a minor accident. After the accident, suspects travelling in a double-cabin vehicle had opened indiscriminate fire on the car at around 9am.

As a result, the two passengers had sustained bullet wounds and were transported to a private hospital where doctors pronounced Zafir dead.

During Friday's hearing, the police presented the four suspects ─ Haider Hussain Burney, Hassan Hussain Burney, Raza Hussain Burney and Abdul Rehman ─ before the court.

As they were sent to jail on judicial remand, the court also ordered the police to arrest the suspect who had fled from the site of the incident after the shooting and present him before the court.

A day earlier, the police had told the court that raids are ongoing to round up the last suspect. The court had granted the police two-day physical remand of Khawar Hussain Burney, the prime suspect.
