Police in Peshawar on Friday arrested a suspect for his alleged involvement in the murder of a seven-year-old girl in the Badaber locality of the city.
The suspect is said to be the girl's neighbour.
The girl's charred body was found near a graveyard in the Badaber area, and police said she had left her home on November 21 to buy candy from a nearby store.
After the incident, the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Peshawar took notice and formed a special team, under the supervision of the senior superintendent of police (SSP) investigation, to arrest the accused.
During the course of the investigation, at least 1,000 houses were profiled in the case.
On November 14, the tortured body of a four-year-old deaf and mute boy was found from the fields in Badaber.
Police, on November 12, had lodged the complaint of the boy going missing while playing outside his residence. He was reportedly a labourer in a brick kiln and was a resident of the Telaband area of Badaber.
The body was discovered by children playing in the area, who told adults and who in turn informed the police. Reportedly, the boy's body had severe torture marks with some locals claiming that the kidneys had been removed.
