| 2015-10-30 |
| A family in northern Balkh province claimed on Thursday that an Afghan Local Police (ALP) commander has killed three members of their family. The incident happened in Chamtal district when the ALP commander along with his two guards allegedly opened fire on a family, leaving four others including two girls wounded. The injured, who are receiving medical treatment at a hospital in Mazar-e-Sharif, the provincial capital, called on the government to bring the perpetrators to justice. "When the firing ended, my cousin ran and saw her brother was killed," one of the injured said. "Before we got there, my cousin's father had reached there and he was also killed." Meanwhile, the Police Chief of Balkh, Gen. Sayed Kamal Sadat, said a task-team has been assigned to probe into the case whether they were killed by the ALP commander or as a result of their personal enmity. Three suspects have been arrested in connection to the murder, he added. He however promised to ensure justice to the family. |
