Police stated that one of the three deceased has been identified as eight-year-old Sufyan, the son of Chunian resident Ramzan. However, the remaining corpses could not be identified due to the extent of decomposition. Police stated the children were kidnapped in separate incidents.
Police added that they believe the same culprit/culprits are responsible for all three deaths as the bodies were discovered in the same area.
Police are currently investigating the case further. Kasur DPO Abdul Ghaffar Qaisarani stated that the unidentified corpses were approximately two months old.
