In the case of the abduction, assault, and murder of a 6-year-old boy in Landhi, Karachi, shocking revelations have emerged from the arrested suspects. The accused have blamed each other for the murder.
According to details, the judicial magistrate of East today recorded the confessional statements of both accused. The arrested suspects, Sohail and Hassan, narrated the horrifying sequence of events from the child’s abduction to his murder.
The accused, Hassan, who works in the meat trade, was present at the animal pen on the day of the murder, September 18. Hassan stated that the other accused, Sohail, was also with him. When the child came out of his aunt’s house, Sohail brought him to the pen. After showing the child the animals for a short while, they took him inside a room.

In his confessional statement, accused Hassan said that first, Sohail assaulted the child. After that, I assaulted him. Then Sohail hit the child’s head with a block, which killed him. They placed the body in a straw cutter and then dumped it in a dirty alley.
Hassan further stated in his statement that Sohail brought a carpet from home, placed it on the ground, and then put the block on it. He claimed they knew about the body, which is why they themselves took the family members to the location. However, accused Sohail has given a different statement from Hassan.
In his confessional statement, accused Sohail said that he took the child to the pen on Hassan’s instructions. He claimed that first he, and then Hassan, assaulted the child. Hassan killed the child, after which they dumped the body in a dirty drain.
There is a clear contradiction in the statements of both accused, revealing that while they have confessed to the assault, they are blaming each other for the murder. Further investigation into this matter is ongoing.
