[Tolo News] The National Directorate of Security...the Afghan national intel agency...
(NDS) has detained another suspect in connection with Farkhunda's brutal murder -- this time the motorist who drove over the dear departed.
An NDS official told TOLOnews on condition of anonymity that the suspect, Baryalai, was the person who drove the car over Farkhunda. After driving over her he continued accelerating, dragging her body under the car.
The source said Baryalai, who is from Kapisa province, is also suspected of having been part of the group that then threw Farkhunda's body into the Kabul River where they set her alight.
After the incident, the suspect apparently sold his car and fled Kabul to his village in Kapisa, the NDS official said.
Farkhunda, a 27-year-old woman, was beaten to death and burnt by angry mob a month ago on the false accusation of burning the Holy Koran.
She was brutally killed near the crowded Shah-e-Do Shamshera shrine of Kabul.
Kabul Police have detained more than 40 people including several coppers in connection with the case. The case files are currently being reviewed by the Attorney General's Office (AGO) and will be referred to the High Court next week.
