A judicial magistrate on 11-October-2024 remanded a suspect in police custody for five days in a case pertaining to the murder of a three-year-old girl.

The child’s body was recovered from a street in Qabail Colony in Block 11 of Gulberg Town on October 9. The investigating officer produced the detained suspect, Nasir, before the judicial magistrate (Central) and requested his 14-day remand in police custody for investigation.

The suspect was brought amidst tight security due to simmering anger among lawyers because the victim was the daughter of an advocate.

The IO stated that the suspect had been arrested for his alleged involvement in the murder of the child. He said the custody of the suspect is required for interrogation and completion of legal formalities.

Granting the IO’s request, the magistrate handed over the suspect to the police for five days with a direction to produce him on completion of his remand.

An FIR has been registered under sections 302 (murder) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistan Penal Code at the Gulberg police station on the complaint of the child’s uncle as her father was in Saudi Arabia for performing Umrah.

Citing the child’s initial postmortem report, the police had earlier said she was sexually assaulted and strangled to death.
