| [Pak Daily Times] Five unidentified decomposed bodies were found in a deserted place between the settlements of Bostan and Yaru in Pishin district on Tuesday. According to officials, a shepherd first spotted the dead bodies at the desolate place and informed the Levies personnel concerned. Levies and other law enforcers rushed to the spot and took the bodies to a nearby hospital and later shifted them to the Bolan Medical Complex (BMC) Teaching Hospital for further proceedings. The victims had received bullet to their heads and presumably keeled over dead. The bodies are beyond recognition and were said to be two months old, an official said. Talking to Daily Times, a levy official said that they had brought the bodies to the Sandeman Hospital, but later shifted them to the BMC due to the law and order situation. The bodies were completely decomposed and several parts were eaten up by wild animals and birds, while doctors and hospital sources confirmed that it is impossible to carry out a postmortem. Talking to journalists, Balochistan Home Secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani said the bodies bore bullet wounds in the heads and were two months old. He said that he had directed the health secretary and medical superintendent to carry out a postmortem. "Chemical powder was sprayed on the bodies, accelerating the process of decomposition," a doctor at the hospital said. |
