| 2014-05-21 |
| [Tolo News] The primary court in southern Kandahar province on Sunday reviewed the murder case of three individuals who were killed in Arghandab district by six coppers and a National Directorate Security (NDS) staff two years back, according to official reports. "We evaluated the case and decided to sentence four of the coppers to the death penalty," Chief of the primary court Mohammad Halim Salim said. During the hearing process, families of the victims blamed the coppers for taking the lives of their loved ones. "These men two years back murdered three men after looting their money," Ahmad Gul, family member of the victims, said. The court sentenced the other two coppers to two years of jail, while the NDS individual was not found guilty and freed. Families of the victims expressed satisfaction over the verdict and called on the legal and judicial courts of the country to act upon the principles of justice. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... the accused refused the court verdict and asked for an appeal. |
