On Tuesday, three young girls were discovered cruelly murdered near their home in Muzaffargarh, according to a senior police official. The perpetrator is being sought by law enforcement.
At this point, it is unclear whether there was more than one murderer involved.
District Police Officer (DPO) of Muzaffargarh Syed Hasnain Haider told that police were apprised of the disappearance of three sisters from the Thermal Colony area on Monday. Thereafter, a search operation was initiated.
“Immediately after receiving information from the girls’ family, police initiated a search and discovered three bodies in an abandoned house near the victims’ home,” he explained.
The victims were identified as Abia, aged seven, Zahrah, aged eight, and Areesha, aged eleven.
He stated that the police were currently gathering evidence and hoped that the perpetrators would be apprehended shortly.
According to the complaint submitted to the police before the discovery of the bodies, the victim’s brother stated that his two sisters, Zahrah and Abia, had gone to a nearby playground around 5 p.m. on Monday and never returned.
“Later, my other sister Areesha went out to search for the two missing sisters, but she did not return,” he added.
He asked the police to seek for his sisters as he had failed.
Police have not yet filed a First Information Report (FIR) because investigators are still collecting evidence and taking statements.
