Three held in Mansehra double murder case

MANSEHRA:

Police arrested three suspects in the blind double murder case. They also seized the victims’ vehicle and mobile phones from their possession.

Mansehra DPO said the apprehension of the suspects in the blind murder case was no less than a challenge.

Five days ago, the Khaki police recovered the bodies of two young men who were shot dead by unidentified suspects. The victims were identified as Hamza Khalid and Adil Abbasi.

The DPO took notice of the incident and ordered SSP Sajjad Khan to trace and book the suspects at the earliest. Khaki police SHO collected forensic evidence and used mobile data and other sources to trace the culprits. The suspects were identified as Muzammil Shah, Owais, and Hazar.

Police said that the initial investigation suggests that the suspects were ice-meth addicts and had a monetary dispute with the victims which led to their murder.

The police have also got a two-day remand of the suspects. Further investigation is underway.
