Karachi police investigate rape of 13-year-old boy
[Dawn] Police in Karachi are investigating into the rape of 13-year-old Eric in the city's Korangi area. Three men were arrested on suspicion who later confessed to having committed the crime, police said. Investigation officer Shahid Mehmood said the accused will be taken to a laboratory on Wednesday to medically confirm that they committed the crime. Police will present the initial investigation reports to the district court once the reports of the suspects' medical examinations have come out. Mehmood said Eric has already been examined at Jinnah hospital for medical inquiries. Eric was kidnapped on the first night of Eidul Fitr by three men who were under the influence of alcohol. The men forced him into a room where they sexually assaulted him. In the meantime, Eric's family searched the entire neighbourhood. He was finally found by his brothers, when his captors released him after raping him. Eric's family has demanded that authorities take firm action against the culprits. This has been the second incident of child abuse reported from the area. Posted by: Fred 2009-09-24 |
