KHUZDAR: Bodies of a woman and her child, who were kidnapped from Killi Jeo area near Quetta about a year and a half ago, were recovered from a house in Mastung area on Saturday.

According to the police, one Muhammad Aslam had kidnapped the woman and her infant daughter from Killi Jeo and brought them to Mastung.

Police official Muhammad Nawaz Gishkori said Aslam was picked up after police had received information that he had killed the woman and her two-year-old baby.

During interrogation, Aslam reportedly confessed to the crime and revealed that he had buried the two in his courtyard.

“Based on information provided by the suspect, police personnel dug out the bodies from the courtyard,” said Mr Gishkori.

The bodies were handed over to heirs after post-mortem examination.

Further investigation is under way.
