A medical team, headed by a senior female police surgeon on Wednesday issued the initial autopsy report of two girls killed for honour, saying that the cause of their death was wounds from blunt weapons.Stone axes, no doubt.
Talking to reporters, Dr Shameem Mishwani said that both the bodies were buried in a two-feet deep ditch far from their home and their broken skulls and ribs showed that they were badly tortured and hit in the heads with a rod or a stone, which probably caused their deaths, APP reported.
Blood and hair samples and pieces of clothes of the victims have been obtained and would be sent to Lahore for a DNA test tomorrow (Thursday), she said.
However, the police are completely clueless about the grave of the third girl who was also killed in the same incident. Although Islamabad-based media and human rights organisations issued a report of the killing of five girls, the actual number of girls killed, a local journalist said, was three.
Investigations: A committee of the federal government, headed by National Police Bureau (NPB) Director General Tariq Masood Khosa, has still not reached the area and local police was quoted as saying that the team was unlikely to arrive in Naseerabad for investigations.
"The federal government team would come only if it does not have faith in the report issued by the provincial police," said Sibi-Naseerabad Range Deputy Inspector General of Police Ghulam Shabbir Sheikh, who has been in the area for the past many days. Sheikh said that until now, the federal government had raised no objections to their report and he did not have the schedule of Khosa's visit to Balochistan.
