"The three personnel of Iranian border security force have been deported after a court ordered their release," Saeed Ahmad Jamali, Deputy Commissioner of Washuk district told AFP.

They had already been charged with the murder of the Pak man following a written complaint from the father of the victim.

But on Saturday the parents of the victim pardoned the three guards in court, and the court ordered their release, Jamali said.

The court also fined them 9,000 Pak rupees ($100) for illegally crossing the Pak border.
