LAHORE Nov 01 (TNS): Police on Wednesday arrested two suspects, who are blood brothers, for allegedly raping and murdering a seven-year-old girl.
The minor, who is a daughter of a rickshaw driver, went missing three days back from the city’s Sabzazar area.
According to the police, the suspects raped the minor before killing her. Their father then dumped the body near Jinnah Hospital.
The father is still at large and efforts for his arrest are under way, the police said.
Multiple cases of rape of minors have emerged this year.
A 13-year-old gave birth to a child in March after being raped at her teacher’s house in Rajanpur.
In another harrowing case, an eight-year-old girl was found near a stream in Karachi after being sexually assaulted.
