| [Tolo News] Criminal Investigation Department (CID) chief Gen. Zahir Zahir reveals a number of groups are trying to release the suspects held on the charges of killing Farkhunda. He announced Saturday that the interior ministry has dispatched the cases of 44 suspects involved in killing and burning of 27-year-old woman to the Attorney General's Office (AGO). He added that 27 of the suspects were civilians and 17 others were police. "Today we completed Farkhunda's case and sent it to the Attorney General's Office," Gen. Zahir said. "The case includes all the documents and evidences about the suspects." Expressing concerns about groups trying to get acquaintance for the suspects, Gen. Zahir assured that he would not let such a thing happen. "I assure you that I will personally follow the case, and in case of any interference into the case, I will let the president know about it," Gen. Zahir said. The AGO officials, meanwhile, urge that they would transparently and fairly investigate the case. "Today we received the case of Farkhunda's death. I assure you that our attorneys will investigate the case transparently," AGO front man Basir Azizi told a presser on Saturday. |
