2017-07-24 |
[DAWN] KASUR: Six months and 10 murders, and all the dear departed are minor ages five to 10 and all of them were raped and killed. And the bodies were found in under-construction houses. An eight-year-old girl was the 10th victim of this serial killing going on in the downtown of Kasur since January this year. A-Division police, on July 8, found her body in an under-construction house in Shah Inyat Colony. She had left her house for a street tuition centre when she went missing. The latest victim of the killing spree was a grade three student and the daughter of a domestic help. Of the 10 minors found raped and killed, seven were girls and three boys. After every killing, the public would resort to road protests and disperse after police’s assurance that the case would be resolved soon. Police have, however, failed to resolve any case; two persons, which the police said were the alleged rapists, were killed in encounters "by their own accomplices". The ’Husain Khanwala’ incident in which hundreds of children were abused, filmed and, later, blackmailed by local gangs some two years back had already left indelible imprints in the history of Kasur. |
