PARACHINAR: Kurram Police have achieved a major breakthrough by tracing the blind murder case involving the killing of a man, his wife and their two minor children in Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, and arresting two prime suspects from Lower Kurram.

According to police officials, the horrific incident took place last week in Skardu, where unidentified assailants allegedly killed the couple and their two young children before fleeing the scene. During the initial investigation, it emerged that the deceased man belonged to Skardu, while his wife was originally from Parachinar.

Following the incident, Skardu Police approached Inspector General of Police Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Zulfiqar Hameed, who took immediate notice and directed Regional Police Officer Kohat Shakir Hussain Dawar and District Police Officer Kurram Dr Saad Afridi to ensure the arrest of the suspects.

Acting on the directives of the DPO Kurram, a special police team was constituted under the supervision of SP Lower Kurram Naseer Ali Khan and Falak Nawaz Bangash. The team included DSP Circle Inayat Khan, SHO Sameer Police Station Iftikhar Ahmed, ASHO Irshad Hussain, police personnel, Elite Force and female police officers.

The team conducted a raid in Hassan Ali Kallay, Sameer, in Lower Kurram, and arrested the two prime suspects, identified as Syed Rajab Hussain and Syed Haleem Hussain, sons of Badshah Hussain and residents of Hassan Ali Kallay, Sameer.

Police said that the arrested suspects were interrogated using professional investigative techniques, which helped investigators trace the high-profile murder case.

After completing all legal formalities and necessary procedures, the two arrested suspects were handed over to Skardu Police on Saturday for further legal proceedings.

Kurram Police expressed solidarity with the bereaved family and said they remained committed to extending all possible assistance to the victims’ relatives.
