The police on Tuesday found the dismembered body of a 40-year old man inside a sack in the Bani Gala area.
Talking to The Express Tribune, Bani Gala Police Sub Inspector (SI) Iftikhar Ahmad said the body was dismembered and was dumped at a deserted place in Moriyan village.
“Based on the decomposition of the body, the victim was probably killed a few days back,” he said, adding that the remains also bore torture marks that suggested the man had been beaten up before being killed.
He said the identity of the deceased and a motive for the crime could not be ascertained.
The police official said that some passersby saw a blood-stained sack and informed the police. He said two knives packed in a plastic bag were also recovered from the dump site.
The body has been shifted to Polyclinic for postmortem.
“The body was wrapped in several shopping bags and a piece of cloth, which were all tied up with a rope,” according to a source at Polyclinic Hospital, who added that the deceased had been killed around four days back.
