Lahore:
A seven-year-old girl and her brother, 5, were strangled and then
crammed into an iron box used for storing wheat in this Pakistani
city. The police suspect that the girl was raped.
Medical examiners have concluded that the children whose bodies
were found in a wheat-storage iron box on their rooftop about two
weeks ago didn't die accidentally, but were murdered.
The police believe that the girl was raped. Then she alongwith her
brother Hannan was throttled. Their bodies were put in a 25-inch
tall iron box on the roof of their home in Bhutto Colony Oct 31,
Express Tribune reported Friday.
The police initially filed a case of accidental death, assuming
that the two children were playing and accidentally locked
themselves in the box in which they suffocated to death.
After receiving the autopsy report Thursday, the police registered
a case of double murder and arrested five suspects, including the
owner of the building.
"We do not believe an outsider could have been involved. It was
probably someone who lived in the building," Rana Shakeel, a
police official, was quoted as saying.
He said the person who killed the children put the bodies into the
grain box to mislead the investigation.
